Bought by Alan Minchin
in 2001, this car was Bentley Motors
first team car for the 1925 24 hour
Le Mans Race. It was first owned by
Bentley Motors and then used as the
works demonstrator by A. F. C. Hillstead
before being sold on. I purchased
the car in 2001 and totally rebuilt
it from the chassis up to the 1925
race format, using period computer
enhanced photographs. She won the
BDC concours, vintage section and
overall car of the show in 2005.
