"Yesterday afternoon 13/6/19 on my drive into London on the A1 I came upon and followed this beautiful 1925 Bentley 3 litre Reg No CWO 121. It was raining and driver and passenger suitably dressed as the hood was down. The burble exhaust noise was music and deep. We went through the Galleria Tunnel and the noise amplified above the other traffic. It was wonderful. Just before this a car merged in front of the Bentley without giving way, but, the Bentley deftly drifted off to the right and snuck back into its lane. Fabulous, I was emotional and so wanting to cherish and enjoy a Bentley sculpture like this one, before my time is up in around 65 years time!!!"

"Hello VintageBentleys.org,

So sorry to trouble you but just a hope you can put my mind at rest. On 1st May 2015 there was a dreadful road accident outside our property. My husband and I were first on the scene and spent time with the people involved until help arrived.

Original Registration No. unknown (lost in destroyed London archive) because this chassis was re-registered in 1938 by its second owner, John Chaston (managing director of the Rolls and Bentley agency in the 1960s), who had acquired it directly from the first owner, Capt. Brian Kelly in Argoed, South Wales.
