Description

1924 Bentley 3 Litre - Vanden Plas Le Mans Style Tourer


Registration: XY 5667

Chassis: ST903

Engine: 920

Coachwork: Originally Easter - now Vanden Plas style Le Mans body


Restored by the very well renowned Bentley expert Clive Oliver to an exceptional standard.

A striking and well-presented example of the iconic Bentley 3 Litre, this 1924 car offers the perfect blend of original provenance and purposeful period competition style.


Supplied new with Easter coachwork, chassis ST903 is now fitted with a beautifully executed Vanden Plas-style Le Mans tourer body, evoking 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 with matching wire wheels and a correct-style weather hood, the car presents superbly and has clearly been maintained with care.


Key Features & Details:


  • Correct 3.0-litre Bentley 4-cylinder engine (Engine no.

    920)

  • Desirable short-chassis configuration (ST series)

  • Period-style Vanden Plas Le Mans body conversion

  • Uprated touring usability while retaining vintage character

  • Strong mechanical presence - starts, runs and drives as a proper Bentley should


History & Provenance:


Originally bodied by Easter, a known period coachbuilder, this car has since been rebodied in the highly sought-after Le Mans style, a conversion widely accepted and appreciated within the Bentley community when done to this standard.


The ST chassis prefix places the car within the early production 3 Litre series, making it eligible for a wide range of prestigious events, tours, and vintage rallies.


Driving Experience:


These cars are renowned for their torque-rich, long-stroke engines and robust engineering. This example delivers exactly that - a proper vintage Bentley feel, with strong pulling power, mechanical honesty, and the sort of road presence modern cars simply cannot replicate.


Summary:


A fantastic opportunity to acquire a usable, characterful and visually striking Bentley 3 Litre, ideal for:

  • Vintage rallies and tours

  • VSCC-style events (subject to eligibility)

  • Or simply enjoying one of the most important British sporting cars ever built
