1924 vintage Bentley 3L 'Speed Model' XR2706
Chassis No 455
Reg No XR2706

"Chassis 455 was the 18th built from a run of 513 very desirable Speed models. Delivered new in February 1924, this vintage Bentley is today still fitted with the original VDP coach work. As well as offering all matching numbers, this vintage Bentley was fortunate to enjoy long term ownership. Technically, it is very correct with lots of original and fascinating details."
