Bentley 4½ Litre Le Mans
"This 4½ liter Le Mans was delivered Sir K.S. Peacock in August 1928. He was a known and successful racing driver and had the best contacts with Bentley. Therefore, he got the king waves engine from Bernhard Rubins Blower Prototype (Reg.-Nr. YU 3250) covered with the ruby and Dudley Benjafield with running in Brooklands in 1928 the 6-th place with a Durschnittsgeschwindigkeit of 71.36 MPH (119 KMH). This Bentley has only 3 owners and has taken part in many Rallyes (e.g., thousand of Miglia) successfully. The vehicle is since 2003 in our service and is operational immediately. The car has everything original like at that time, even the Autovac functions since the overhaul like during the first day."

This car is for sale as of July 13, 2009. Price quoted: 445,000 EUR

"WK 7173 as found just before my purchase. I purchased it via Stanley Mann, already dismantled, who I believe in turn bought it from Jim FitzGerald who discovered it I believe, and took the photos."

I owned it for approximately 2 years (between 1986 and 1988) and largely rebuilt it to a rolling chassis state, i.e engine, chassis, radiator etc, but not body."
