Extensively Prepared and Upgraded 1924 Bentley 3/ 4. 5

Leaving the Cricklewood gates in June 1924 chassis number 665 was dispatched to VDP for a four-seat sport coach work numbered 1050, registered ND7102 in September of that same year. The first custodians were the Brenninkmeyer family of the C&A fashion label. Soon after the family sold the car to Mr D Simon, who had the body replaced with a 2-seater sporting body.

In 1938, the car was sold to the Horton Brothers of Exeter, who were avid Bentley enthusiasts with numerous cars. Having worked on ND, the Horton Brothers sold later that same year.

By the 1960’s the car had been fitted with the VDP style body it wears today and was campaigned in Bentley Drivers Club events in 1970’s. in the 1980’s the body was refurbished by Douglas Brooke-Johnson.

Ownership passed to Walter Tierling in 1984 and the car remained in his ownership until 2013 when it was sold to Roland Frey who used it successfully for rallying.

In 2015 our client purchased from Stanley Mann Racing, a 3 litre red label with the VDP style coachwork. Since purchase, our client and car have competed on many long-distance rallies and toured throughout Europe.

This Bentley was then extensively upgraded to 4. 5 litre specification with fully rebuilt engine, drivetrain and all ancillaries for competitive endurance rallying and touring. It has subsequently been maintained to the highest standards by a marque specialist working exclusively for him. Please refer to our website for full specification.

Not a car for the concours lawn, this car presents as a serious contender for fast road and rally use with a beautiful patina and continuous history. If you are in the market for a WO Bentley and have adventure in mind look no further! Extensively prepared and ready for immediate use, she will cruise all day in the fast lane across Europe, look great in front of any prestigious hotel and bring you home again after your event…
