Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1932 Bentley 8-Litre Tourer, chassis YX5118, is a rare and well-documented example, being one of the last 8-Litre Bentleys built and one of only 35 on the short chassis. It features a Le Mans-style Vanden Plas coachwork fitted in 1938 and has been owned by only five enthusiasts since new, including notable figures like Sir Everard Talbot Scarisbrick and Hans Dieter Holterbosch. Accompanied by a comprehensive report from Bentley historian Dr. Clare Hay, it retains its original engine and chassis.
Condition
8
The car is described as well-documented and lovingly kept for its entire life. It has been sympathetically returned to robust running order. Dr. Hay's report confirms the car retains its original engine and chassis. Underhood finishes are to original specifications, with the exception of an upgraded modern coil and three SU carburetors, all of which are desirable modifications for modern touring.
