While this 1929 Bentley Speed Six has undergone significant restoration and benefits from ongoing maintenance by marque specialists, it incorporates non-original components like a replacement chassis, engine crankcase, and 'Le Mans Replica' body. Although described as a 'fantastic driving car' ready for adventure, these modifications and the car's history of a collision and subsequent renovation prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
