Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1930 Bentley Speed Six Tourer is an exceptionally rare, original fabric-bodied Vanden Plas, never publicly offered for sale, and has led an entirely secluded life. While it has received mechanical attention, it may still need further work to reach prime touring condition.

Condition

7

The car remains an extremely original example of both chassis and bodywork. It received considerable mechanical attention, including an engine rebuild and servicing of the radiator and cooling systems. While this was a significant investment, Mr. Lucas was never fully satisfied with its running condition, and the car may still need attention to reach prime touring condition.
