1926 Bentley 3 Litre
This car (PM 5064) is one of only 39 'Light touring chassis' ever made. Her short wheel base had specially developed four-seater, open Vanden Plas coach work which has survived remarkably well and is still fitted. These cars are very different from the standard long wheel base, and a rare find for any discerning collector.
