Frank Sowden's 4½ Litre Bentley - Chassis MR3400

Contributed by Peter Sowden (Son of former owner)

 

"I believe this was my father Frank Sowden's first Bentley. We lived in Yorkshire. My father would have had this car for a couple of years, before selling the it to a guy in Hawaii, I believe. Frank sold GU 5106 and then purchased a Speed Six, running chassis, and PPB 10, the 8 Litre, YF5006. This would have been in the early 1960s."
