Car is currently
(2007) in France and Registered No.
1926 YP 14.
Five years ago the owner bought NR
505 from Mr. Hine in England. At that
time it was an original 3 litre with
a green Gurney Nutting 4 seater tourer
as shown on the photographs posted
Nov. 23, 2006 (below).
Last year he wanted to change the
car and asked Richard Cresswell of
VBE Restorations to think about a
reconstruction of NR505. This reconstruction
in now finished and, though it is
not an original 4.5 litre LeMans Team
car, it is "my car with my own
specifications".
What was done
* Took off the complete body and
sold it to a Bentley collector.
* Changed the rails of the chassis
to a 9' 9" length.
* Put a new Vanden Plas body reproduction
on the chassis.
* Rebuilt the gear box with a D box.
* Rebuilt the engine to 4.5 litre
upgrated to 5.3 litre, but kept the
original block.
* Rebuilt all the car to the highest
specifications.
(The complete story of the car
since 1926, including a list of the
previous owners, log books, some picture
and files of notes and invoices from
the past are pending.)
The current owner says: "When
you compare the cars on the market
and the quality of the job done by
Richard Creswell from VBE and his
"dream team", you can see
a LeMans replica made to the highest
specifications, and really the best
Vintage Bentley Replica I have seen
in my life — a personal car made
to be driven by me. We came as close
as we could to arrive to the best.
My regret is that I killed an original
car to have the car I wanted. I want
to apologize to W. O. — but please
look at this car!!!" |
