Information received from Clive Morley:
Car built in 1938 on a 1926 9" supersports chassis bought from Bentley Motors and a 1928 4½ engine. Was ANT 628 now GSU 757. Currently with a 2-seater body. Bought off the Avons in 2008 now being raced by the Morley Family.
This car is featured in Michael Hay's The Vintage Years 1919-31 in 'Notes to Tables' that reads:
The works created an NR series of 3 litres as 1926 models by rebuilding and renumbering unsold 1925 chassis-viz also chassis 283/623. There was a 3 litre in America that has not been heard of since 1961 that was built in 1938 by a gentleman who went to the service department at Kingsbury and paid £5 for a short chassis frame and built possibly the first 'Bitsa' (reg ANT 628). This car was latter changed to GSU 757.
As quoted in "Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys" on page 72, the engine was put into the Chassis in 1938.
The car was essentially a 4½ with a 4½ bulkhead, radiator, axles and steering box until Humphrey avon converted it into a 2 seater supersports with the help of Rod Jolley.
