1931 Bentley 4 Litre Tourer
Registration Number: EV 5330 Chassis Number: VA 4089 Engine Number: VA 4095
£129,000
"A very original and very rare 1931
Bentley 4 Litre Tourer by Van Den Plas.
Original high spec with fold flat screen and full weather
equipment, Bosh head lights, altimeter, one shot lubrication,
continental touring luggage boot and six side screens.
This Bentley was fully restored between 1997-2001.
A complete restoration included a full strip to chassis (bare
metal) and, no doubt, some fortunes later here she is in all
her beauty boasting a top quality trim and paint.
Performance is good, ride spectacular and with a presence
only a few other great cars can match. Ready to tour in great
comfort." |
