Lovely patination with excellent mechanical condition. Just like we should always look for but not always easy to find.
This is a very well known Bentley Drivers Club car. She has all the traditional looks and would be highly desirable in any vintage Bentley collection, even if that collection was only one. We have shown a picture of her competing in a Bentley Drivers event sometime in 1967 and she still looks the same today.

Laystall crank ,with racing spec rods
New cross shaft gears, new bearings, new water pump, etc. etc.
Last owner was Mrs Annabel Swain daughter of John Bolster, the consummate enthusiast and one of my heroes (yes, we did have them before Top Gear).
If you think your enthusiasm for the marque is needy of one of the best, well, her she is.
