Description
•
Engine no.
BA 2596 • Built by Stanley Mann Racing • Original 1929 Speed Six engine uprated to 8 litres • 330bhp and over 550lb/ft of torque • Raced successfully 2007-2009 • Present ownership since 2012 Known to its constructors Stanley Mann Racing as 'The Other Gun' (they were racing 'Mother Gun' at the time), this exciting Bentley competition special is based on a 1927 Bentley 3-Litre 'Red Label', chassis number 'BL1623', which had been off the road since 1965.
Originally a Carbodies saloon, the Bentley was sold new via Henlys Ltd of Great Portland St, London to R F B Mackay of Glentruitton, Oban.
Registered as 'YT 2204', the car is known to have been re-bodied as a tourer sometime before 1949.
Stanley Mann purchased 'YT 2204' at a UK auction in 2004.
The car had spent many years off the road in dry storage and was in 'tired' condition.
The ensuing rebuild and transformation into a truly competitive 3/8-Litre competition special would take the next two years to complete.
