The following advertisement text by Stanley Mann was found on the Stanley Mann Racing website:

"Registration Number: SF 956 Chassis Number: 819 Engine Number: RT 1542SS

1925 Bentley 3/4½ Litre Le Mans

This Bentley has the real panache of a true Bentley boy’s Bentley.

It has superb performance and great looks.

Rebuilt fully some 2 years ago which involved full strip down, complete engine rebuild with counterbalanced crank and rods making her virtually bullet proof.

High compression pistons.
New camshaft with new Phoenix rockers.
Block flowed and ported.
Big inlet valves.
All instruments rebuilt, new wheels and tyres.

And only 2000 miles on the clock since all this work was done.

Close ratio gear box... Well, we could go on, but the chap who wants this will come in and view and, over a coffee, we can discuss all the merits of this great vintage Bentley.

So come in and be prepared to have your socks blown off."

SOLD sign spotted on Stanley Mann website on Jun 25, 2011. We cannot be sure when this car actually sold. - VintageBentleys.org
