In 2000, after 38 years and only three ownerships, it was completely overhauled by Vantage Motorworks in Florida. After the refurbishment, the car was presented at the Amelia Island Concours in 2002, where it captured the Amelia Island Award Trophy against some worthy competition.
In 2008, one of our workshop customers took the opportunity to buy this outstanding example, had it shipped to Germany and added it to his collection. It has been regularly serviced since and used on numerous occasions. This car starts on the button and virtually needs nothing.
The Bentley comes with all its original tools, factory records, invoices, correspondence etc.
The original chassis, engine and body have never been separated from each other and there are no collisions or other "horror stories" in its 62 year history.
In short, this is just an every day driving, but also concours winning, but simply constantly enjoyable, drop dead elegant Bentley. You can probably discuss the price, but you cannot find any better.
