Summary
This Bentley Special was rebuilt to its current 1930s-inspired specification over a 25-year period, with many parts including the chassis fabricated from scratch. The steering and brakes are believed to have been sourced from a Bentley R-Type donor car, and the carburettors have been overhauled. It has been serviced regularly during current ownership and presents in very good overall condition with minor stone chips and flaking paint.
