This will be with us at the end of the month, and is the ideal Bentley for somebody who wants all the hard work done, so just press the starter button and go.
This is an original Speed model, having had one change of keeper in 65 years. The last keeper embarked on "a few jobs to improve odds and ends" and thus the snowball started rolling. A complete engine rebuild, differential rebuilt and upgraded to the 4 star version as fitted to the 4.5 Litres, steering overhauled, new radiator to list some of the work and all this carried out by a marque specialist. No expense spared, with invoices totalling the cost of a new Range Rover.
So you will be buying a proper vintage Bentley with continuous history in excellent mechanical order that you can enjoy.
The engine is an original 4 .5 Litre unit fitted 70 years ago and other than this enhancement all the other numbered components are as assembled by the Cricklewood works in 1927.
This Bentley comes with a Clare Hay report and there is nothing of this quality at this price on the market.
So whilst it is a few weeks off, due to the owner going touring, it gives you something to think about in the meantime. Good mechanical quality matched to good history is something special and one wouldn't wish to embark on buying a project and trying to make something as good as this which would be considerably more expensive and time consuming.
