Superb 1923 Tourist
Trophy Model 3 litre Bentley fitted
with its original Vanden Plas Sports
coachwork
Chassis 233, Engine 232 is a very
rare example of the Short Chassis
Tourist Trophy Model 3 litre, fitted
with its original Vanden Plas Sports
Coachwork.
Of 70 T.T. Models chassis produced,
very few survive in such lovely condition,
with original coachwork, all correct
instruments and Lucas lamps, and the
desirable A Type gearbox and SU Sloper
carburettors.
The engine has been rebuilt by Elmdown
with new crank and rods and the car
is perfectly geared with 3.78 back
axle and overdrive. This little gem
is a real goer, as well as a very
rare Bentley Classic.
£215,000. |
