1927 3/4½ Litre Speed Model
A 3/4½ Litre Speed model well known to us here at NDR for all the right reasons. The ideal fast road vintage Bentley with light nimble handling, a purposeful stance and very strong performance. We are delighted to see a strong presence of vintage Bentleys on rallying and touring events across the world and this is the perfect entrant. A correct Speed model, extensively maintained and with continuous history from new.

1927 3/4½ Speed Model Bentley
The most favoured year of production, from 1927, this Speed Model Bentley benefits from the most important of all criteria -- continuous history. She now benefits from many improvements including a Phoenix Crankshaft and increased capacity of 5.3 Litres.

Having had many various bodies fitted and starting out with a Sports Skiff by Felber, she now boasts a VDP light touring body. Presented in perfect mechanical condition, with a recently rebuilt rear axle, she is ready for adventures new.
