"Three Bentley 3-Litre Speed Models with special Vanden Plas sports coachwork were sent from England in 1927 to Buenos Aires. Two of the three cars, this car AZ 1668 and BL 1619, now back in the U.K., were on the front row of the San Martin, Argentina Grand Prix in August 1927. BL 1619 went on to win the race; unfortunately, the AX 1688 crashed. AX 1669 remains in Buenos Aires.

This 3-Litre Speed Model Bentley rests on a 117-inch wheelbase. The 3-Litre, fixed head engine has four cylinders, an overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder, twin S.U. 'sloper' carburetors and twin magneto ignitions. A four-speed 'crash' gearbox operates through a cone clutch.
