AI Listing Summary
This 1932 Bentley 8-Litre Saloon by H.J. Mulliner, chassis YX5110, is presented in an attractive green and black livery with matching numbers and original coachwork. It has a known history since new, including ownership by Peter Agg and Jimmy Metcalf, and comes with a comprehensive historical and restoration file, making it ideal for Bentley events and vintage rallies.

The car's description indicates it retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox per factory records, as well as the original coachwork down to the body number stamping in the floorboards and the chassis number stamping visible in the hood hinge. Further, the car is accompanied by the restored original tool kit in the boot, as well as a thoroughly impressive history file including copies of aforementioned articles and thorough invoices, its buff UK registration logbook, and a further maintenance diary kept by Mr. Metcalf. I rate it between a 7-8. It has been refinished, but retains the original upholstery.
