It was sold by us to a German customer post conversion to the LeMans style "Speed 8" coachworks as you see it today and there is a copy of the German registration certificate with historic ("H zulassung") status in the history file. It has since been re-registered in England under it's original registration number and retains historic status here too. UK Racing Green Engineering need no introduction in Bentley circles being the foremost restorer and constructor of Bentley Specials. A fully stocked stores and dedicated storeman allows for overnight parts deliveries for those doing arduous rallies such as the Peking to Paris. The factory also offers a service centre for it's cars at very reasonable rates.
