Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1928 Bentley 3 Litre Blue Label Tourer, chassis NR 526, boasts a rich history with only six documented owners and a long period of single-family ownership. While it retains its original registration number and has been restored by renowned specialists, it features a replacement Vanden Plas-style tourer body and a different engine (no. 742), diverging from its original Gurney Nutting saloon coachwork and engine number '1204'.
Recent re-commissioning and servicing ensure it's ready for historic motoring events, supported by extensive documentation and eligibility for prestigious gatherings. The sale includes valuable extras like a tailored car cover and vintage toolbox.
Condition
7
While the car has been restored and re-commissioned by specialists, it has had an engine replacement and a body replacement. The listing focuses on originality, but also highlights the quality of restoration work. Thus, a rating of 'Very Good' seems appropriate, with reconditioning being focused on maintenance rather than major repairs.
