The following original text in German was found on the TraumaAutoArchiv website:

Dieses Modell wies die damals gängie Tourer-Karosserie mit hoher rechter Seitenwand und ausgeschnittener linker auf.

Das schwarze Modell vom Councours d'Elegance in Apeldoorn 2006 (PE 5757) wurde 1925 an Wind Commander Cyril Ashley Vernieux of Chiddingfold Surrey geliefert. 1950 wurde der Wagen auf einen Mr. Charles Trevithick aus London zugelassen, bevor er 1952 an einen Mr. Charles James Tapp aus Essex ging. Dieser behielt den Wagen 38 Jahre lang bis 1990. Danach ging der Wagen in die Hände seines Sohnes, der seinerseits den Wagen 1998 an einen holländischen Bentley-Enthusiasten verkaufte. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt wurde das Fahrzeug fahrfertig und original, aber nicht in einem guten Zustand erhalten. Der neue Besitzer hat den Wagen daher durch den englischen Bentley-Spezialisten Arthur Archer vollständig restaurieren lassen. Diese Restaurierung dauerte eineinhalb Jahre, war jedoch so gut, dass der holländische Eigner 2000 mit dem Wagen ohne Probleme an der Rallye London-Peking teilnahm. 2001 startete er dann noch bei der Bentley Drivers Club Rallye in Südafrika und 2002 bei der Classic Malts Rallye.

Translated to English using an automated tool:

"This model had the time gängie Tourer body with a high right-side wall and excised left.

The black model from Councours d'Elegance Apeldoorn 2006 (PE 5757) was delivered in 1925, Wind Commander Cyril Ashley Vernieux of Chiddingfold Surrey. In 1950, the car was registered to a Mr. Charles Trevithick in London before 1952 to a Mr. Charles James Tapp was from Essex. He kept the car for 38 years until 1990. Then the car went into the hands of his son, who in turn sold the car to a 1998 Dutch Bentley enthusiasts. By that time the vehicle was mounted and original, but not maintained in good condition. The new owner had the car, therefore, through the English Bentley specialists Arthur Archer restored completely. This restoration took a year and a half was so good that the Dutch owners took part in 2000 with the car without problems at the London-Beijing Rally. In 2001 he started then at the Bentley Drivers Club rally in South Africa and 2002 in the Classic Malts Rally."
