Market commentary
Reported sold by Christies a year ago at Le Mans for $78,220. This is one of the least attractive automobiles ever built by Bentley. The grille looks like a Buick Regal Grand tiol; the back end looks like a Chevy Monte Carlo Aerocoupe; the chrome wire wheels look like a pimpmobile. There is a reason, even beyond the nearly inconceivable cost, that only three were built: its U G L Y. Its low miles (<1,000 per year) are directly attributable to the high embarrassment factor of being seen in it and the seller should be supremely happy to get this much for it.
