Text accompanying the photographs on Stanley Mann Racing website states: "Rebuilt some 20 years ago as a full 8 litre Le Mans Tourer and definitely with the WOW factor... The drive I (Stanley Mann) had today in her was amazing... Engine has just had a full ground up rebuild and the whole car is showing a little patina which makes her look great."
Also: "One of the great Bentleys excellent for long rallies... Realistically priced."
New photographs and update on Stanley Mann's website on Oct 13, 2008:
