1926 Bentley 3.0 litre Speed model Chassis number: PH1475 Registration number: WU5452 Coming available in the next few weeks. We will rephotograph the car upon arrival at our showroom. The delectable young lady in the drivers seat does not come with the car as she doubles as my daughter. The late & much missed Stanley Man Handled the car a decade ago & had this to say about it: "The history from the works shows that the car had two accidents in her first few years but survived by the fitting of replacement frames by the factory. This means her continuous history and integrity remain intact. So yes, you've guessed it, its real without the matching number game that somehow some dealers think adds some value. In my book, total crap....Now that I've got that off my chest lets talk Bentleys." Never a man to mince his words, we have posthumously: "Been Told!!!" He further adds that the car was restored by R.C. Moss between 1979 & 1989 as a quality restoration for a private collection. Clare hay who has recently viewed the car states in her report; Front suspension offside and nearside:: The shock absorbers are correct pattern single Hartfords, on later pattern chassis brackets. The Perrot shafts are Stage 2 pattern with long chassis brackets with the plunge taken by the pin through the chassis bracket, with volute springs between the Perrot shaft cups and the frame bracket. The brake drums are the standard plain pressed steel pattern. The bolting plates are the early pattern, not fitted after 1924, and the road springs should be fitted with leather gaiters. The front axle beam is a light pattern numbered TW2703, from a 1927 6 1⁄2 Litre. There is no mention of a change of front axle beam in the Service Record for TW2703. This car survives and was rebuilt by Townshend, so it is possible it was fitted with a heavy beam, making this beam available. The sump has the works sequence number 1231, this is probably the original sump for engine SR1404.
