The car was first delivered as a Vanden Plas Saloon and is shown in the book Bentley: The Vintage Years. During complete restoration some years ago the car got a new body in the style of a "Le Mans" 4-Seater Tourer which was originally built to this specification by Vanden Plas and is also illustrated in the book Bentley: The Vintage Years. All the restoration work is perfectly and professionally done and the powerful car is a delight to drive!
