Photograph was taken during Bentley Drivers Club tour of Brittany in 2004.
In spite of what is quoted from Peter Hugo's book on this page, this is definitely a 3L. I don't know the engine number at this time. The car is also fitted with a Wilson pre-selector gearbox.

Car has been owned by Mr. Wilkins for 15 years. The original owner had the engine changed from 3 to 4 1/2-Litres and front wheel brakes and large section tires fitted. It has a body by R. Harrison and is one of the few Blue Label Short Chassis Bentleys.
