1929 Bentley 8
Litre Le Mans Team Car Rep
Registration: GF 778
"Vintage Bentley Le Mans cars
are amongst the most exciting and
valuable in the world. This impressive
example was built up in the same style
and in the time honoured "bitsa"
tradition, from largely original but
non matching parts. The attention to detail is
remarkable and its high spec includes
an 8 Litre block, "BS" box
with "C" ratios, VDP Team
Car style fabic body with folding
screen, self wrapping brakes with
servo assist, stone-guards, straps,
Zeiss lamps, twin Klaxons, twin side
mounts, double Hartfords all round,
dual fuel system and Le Mans tank,
etc, etc. The car has completed a
number of international rallies including
The Flying Scotsman in 2009 and more
recently a Tour of New Zealand. Offered
for sale in really nice lightly patinated
condition. Fast, sure footed performance
delivered with an exhaust note that
leaves one in no doubt there was once
an era when Britain truly was great.
Black with polished nickel." |
