"I notice that
Hay states (at the bottom of this
page - Ed) that the car was found
derelict in 1971, this information
is not quite accurate. I purchased
the car in 1971 as a result of an
advertisement. When I viewed the car
it was in a dry secure garage with
the rear end up on blocks and the
back axle dismantled. The owner told
me that it had broken its crown wheel
and pinion circa 1959/60, he had stripped
out the diff assembly but got no further
other than finding a replacement 4
star diff and c.w.p. The car was very
complete and very sound, it was far
from derelict as stated by Hay. I
believe that its long lay up in the
garage saved its originality. It is
a very original example of a V.D.P.
four seater TT model. The coach work
was restored by Jim Pearce." |

"I have owned
my 3 Litre SD 7146 since 1971 and
rebuilt it 1972 to 1981 since when
it has had extensive usage both in
the UK and across Europe. It is chassis
205, engine 211, TT Model still fitted
with its original V.D.P. (1917 Ltd)
4 seater sports coach work, from research
that I and others have carried out
it is the first 4 seater sports body
that V.D.P. fitted to a vintage Bentley.
There was a photo of the car in the
Review a couple of years ago taken
outside the Club offices." |
