Description
Bentley 3/8 litre, possibly one of the fastest Bentleys in the world with many track records to its credit. Fully restored with a rebuilt engine and ready to terrorise. Would consider doing part exchange deals with standard WO Bentley, Derby Bentley or Bentley continentals R or S, cash adjustments either way.
