"'The Missile' 3/8 Supercharged 1925 Bentley
Started life in 1925, Chassis No. 1186, this Speed Model 3 Litre was rebuilt throughout the 1990s by the then President of the Bentley Drivers Club, into its current form, including installation of an 8 Litre engine and a bespoke supercharger, creating the aptly named "Missile". The engineering is truly breathtaking and the detailing is exacting to every standard. This really is the ultimate in Vintage Speed, Performance and Style."

On May 3, 2008 Stanley Mann states on his website that this is "the ultimate vintage Bentley with a top speed of over 160mph and over 550bhp (travel with the gods)... Very tractable and having a fortune spent on her in the last 12 years".
Stanley Mann says there's loads of paper work with this Bentley, "so even reading about her in bed gets exciting". He further says that this car has won several trophies in competitive VSCC and BDC events.
