About this car

The 3 Litre was the first Bentley, the car that W.O. Bentley built around his overhead-cam four-cylinder engine and that went on to win at Le Mans. This one dates from 1926, in the middle of the model's production run, and is offered with its original tourer body rather than a later replacement.

The dealer describes it as an original car in impeccable condition. The page gives no chassis number, registration, mileage, colour or ownership history, so those details need confirming with the seller before any viewing.
