About this car

This 1925 Bentley 3 Litre carries its original Gurney Nutting four-door body, one of the things that sets it apart from the many vintage Bentleys that have been re-bodied over the decades. Engine and chassis numbers match, and the car is known to its keepers as Felix.

In 1939 the works shortened the chassis to Speed Model specification, with the coachwork cut down to suit. It runs on twin CG4 magnetos and SU sloper carburettors, and has a split windscreen, a hood and well-worn original front seats.

The page refers to a large history file, including invoices for substantial recent mechanical work intended to bring the car to a high standard. No price or mileage is given.
