Description

Chassis: ST903

Engine: 920

Coachwork: Vanden Plas Le Mans Style Tourer

Restored by the renowned Bentley expert Clive Oliver, this car is a stunning example of the iconic Bentley 3 Litre. It perfectly blends original provenance with a purposeful period competition style.

This is a beautifully executed Vanden Plas-style Le Mans tourer body. The design evokes the legendary Bentley team cars of the mid-1920s. The result is a car with real presence—low, purposeful, and unmistakably "W.O. Bentley" in character.

Finished in an elegant yellow over black colour scheme, the car has matching wire wheels and a correct-style weather hood. It presents superbly and has clearly been maintained with care.
