"This chassis is the same (12 ft. 6 in. wheelbase as SB2705 back two pages. Never underestimate the importance of coachwork on these cars. Bentley records say this chassis originally carried a Freestone & Webb saloon. The whole car just looks much larger than the 4-cylinder Bentleys." — From the article 'Annual Meet: French Lick, Indiana', August 13-17, 1996, Photography 1996 K. & M. Karger
