Description

- Restoration Stanley Mann - Clare Hay report - Extensive documentation with numbers report - FIA Passport/ Participation Le Mans Classic 2023 - Amazing driving performance Description: The 4 ½ litre made a significant contribution to the brand's sporting reputation thanks to numerous victories at Le Mans, Brooklands etc. For many Bentley enthusiasts, the 4 ½ litre embodies the best of all W. O. Bentley creations. According to the available "Built Sheet", this 4 ½ Bentley was delivered to Le Mans driver Kenneth Peacock in England in 1928 as a 4-door Weymann saloon from the Gurney Nutting company. The car subsequently changed hands several times within England. In 1980, the car was rediscovered and restored by Stanley Mann and H&H Coachbuilders in the style of the Le Mans Bentley with a new Tourer body. The entire history of the car is documented by the Built Sheet and numerous other original documents and photos as well as a detailed Clare Hay Report. Over the years, the car was further perfected by its previous owner, and a few years ago the car came to Germany. Last year, the vehicle was entered in the Le Mans Classic and once again impressed with its high reliability and outstanding driving performance.
