For Bentley enthusiast R.G. Baillie, the acquisition of a 3-litre became a dream of his from the moment when he first saw the Bentley at the 1921 Motor Show, but it was many years before that dream was realised. As a matter of interest, the Bentley was originally shown at Olympia, in 1919, the first Motor Show after the 1918 Armistice. It appeared then as a chassis only, but in 1920 a complete car was on view, in the White City section of the Show, with an all-weather body, forming the only exhibit on the stand.
