1923 Bentley 3 Litre S
Chassis No. 167
Engine No. 172
Registration No. No info
"In The Motor, 3 January 1923, page 1081, appears a photo of a Bentley 3-litre 2-seater by Mann Egerton. No other ID, of course.
However, I believe that chassis 167, with a guarantee date of October 1922 is the only M-E bodied car within the range of chassis 150-220, which is the relevant period. Hence, it is likely that the photo shows chassis 167."
