Built for long distance high speed rally work; we first sold this car to germany some 8 years ago. Since then it has been regularly used, improved & has participated in numerous rallies. It appears in the book BBentley Specials & Special Bentleys. The car is fitted with a 3.08 Salisbury axle giving a long legged gait. The ash framed body is a two seat (very occasionally four) tourer clad in light wieght aluminium. The engine and gear box have been moved back in the chassis allowing for a low radiator line.
This special has been professionaly built with great attention to detail by a Scottish engineer. It is fast, relaiable & affords vintage motoring without any dramas. The car is finished in immaculate British Racing Green paintwork to the exterior with black leather hide to the seats & black carpets. A full length hood easily erects for motoring in inclement conditions.
Mechanically well sorted, this is a quick car given the light body weight & powerful rebuilt engine. It is light & nimble to drive on the road & will be arriving withgoes with the vehicle.
