1924 Bentley 3/4½ Litre |
Chassis No. 487
Engine No. 486 / ST 3007
Registration No. XR 3400 |
| |

|
 |
| December
2008 |
| For
sale by Stanley Mann Racing |
| |
|
| |
Chassis no. 487 is
up for sale as of Dec 2008 on the
Stanley Mann Racing website.
Stanley Mann says: "This Bentley
is the most desirable spec for the
old Bentley boys among us (my self
included)... The recipe was; find
a 3 litre — preferably with short
chassis, pour in a heap of real 4½
litre engine and then fit Le Mans
style coachwork with Le Mans spec
and Le Mans tank and then you have
served up the best vintage Bentley
cocktail ever... Mind you, as this
case, fortunes have been spent recently
and it all shows and works well."
This car was for sale at Stanley Mann
Racing in Oct 2006 as well, when the
price quoted was £185,000. Description
was: "A very good 3/4½
litre Le Mans type with a good history...
Recent work on this car has involved
some large amounts of the old mazuma
being spent and all on the important
bits... A great driving and good looking
vintage Bentley."
The car is
marked as 'SOLD' on Stanley Mann Racing
website as of Jan 23, 2009.
