1924 Bentley 3 Litre ST Coupe
Chassis No. 387
Engine No. 390
Registration No. EL 8765
1924 3/4½ Litre
Purchased new with a coupe body by Harrison in 1924 by the Hon. Mrs. A.C. Philipson, the body was changed very quickly at her request to a limousine. Such were the vagaries of the time which kept coachbuilders in business. However limousines were of a bespoke nature with a very narrow market and it is no surprise that this was subsequently changed again with low mileage and good mechanical condition being regarded as more important to buyers than coachwork which was easily changed.
