1922 3 Litre Reg.
No: CA 4766 Engine No: 88 Chassis
No: 84
This car with a saloon body built
by Lawton & Goodman was first
registered in 1922 by Mr. Pope of
Cardiff who kept her until 1938. It
is an early model with no front wheel
brakes, a Smiths updraft carburettor,
castor oil filled shock absorbers
and beaded edge tyres. "On longer
trips I use a set of conventional
tyres because of the replacement cost
of beaded edge tyres". The car
then went through many owners until
Cyril Wadsworth found her in a very
rundown state in the early I950s He
completely and very professionally
rebuilt her back to original specifications
and enjoyed the care of Dick and Barbara
Phillipson who brought her to South
Africa for the 1983 Vintage Bentley
Tour, when they sold it to Stuart.
Since then she has participated in
many local tours including John White's
vintage Bentley tours, but after a
lost con rod in 1994, she underwent
a complete rebuild and is running
well again, doing her fair share of
weddings, including two of Stuart's
daughters. Letters and records indicate
that XL 4766 has covered in excess
of 440,000 to date. |
