Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Folding windscreen (with screen in it), dual aeroscreens, single sidemount, cycle fenders, brass radiator shell, dual SU carbs, cord-wrapped leaf springs, Zeiss headlights, overdrive.

Condition

Very nicely done and well maintained in very clean and only lightly used condition. Originally a Cadogan bodied tourer. Restored in this configuration in the early 1990s with new pretty much everything, shortened chassis, Bentley Engineering repro supercharger added.

Market commentary

Sold by Bonhams at Goodwood in September 2005 for $736,740 (GBP 408,500 at the time; todays sale is GBP 436,800). A great automobile with abundant possibilities for enjoyment which it already has demonstrated at the Le Mans and Gordon Bennett Rally vintage events. The real thing is almost to valuable to be exercised making cars like this meticulously constructed re creation a viable alternative way to enjoy the vintage Bentley experience.
