About this car

This 1924 Bentley was reborn in Scotland in the 1960s as a car in the style of the vintage TT racers, and it now carries a bespoke two-seater body to match. The chassis is XU2472.

It has been mechanically rebuilt by Vintage Bentley. Hydraulic brakes are fitted, a useful upgrade for a competitive car, and ignition is by coil with twin magnetos. The dealer describes the car as showing the patina of regular use.

XU2472 is said to be the first Bentley to win races on synthetic fuel. The page gives no price, mileage or registration.

Power, weight and speed are left null because they varied by chassis type and coachwork, and there is no reliably documented factory figure for a 1924 car with no variant given.).
