German Registration: Registered in Germany and accompanied by a UK V5 document.
Engine Number: HM2865
Chassis Number: 1157

Performance Powerhouse: This Bentley boasts an 8203 cc, 6-cylinder engine, and features a 4-speed Bentley gearbox converted with Dog-type gears internally.

Flying Start Records: Stanley Mann achieved incredible records with this car, including 5 Miles Flying Start in 2 minutes and 12.97 seconds and 10 Kilometers Flying Start in 2 minutes and 45.56 seconds, both at an average speed of over 135 mph.

Impressive Speed: The car showcased its prowess with an average speed of 115.53 mph over 100 miles, 115.64 mph in a 1-hour run, and completing 200km in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 42 seconds at an average speed of 115.26 mph.

Brooklands Action: In 1996 at Brooklands Action Day, Stanley pushed the Bentley to a remarkable speed of 148 mph.

Remarkable Transformation: Originally a 3-Litre, this car underwent a significant transformation masterminded by J.C. Konig. Partnering with engineer John Guppy, they evolved it into an 8-Litre creation. The car continued to evolve under Konig and Guppy's care until it found its home with Vic Smith and Stanley Mann in 1986.

Competition Success: In the 1980s, the car achieved notable competition success, including victories at events like the Bentley Drivers Club and VSCC races.

Exceptional Exterior: Crafted by Williams and Pritchard, the car features an aluminum and steel tube frame construction with impeccable paint. Fitted wings, Brookland's screens, and a racing head cowl enhance its racing authenticity.

Impeccable Interior: The green leather bucket seats with meticulous leather lacing are in excellent condition. The aluminum dash houses all necessary gauges, and there's ample storage space behind the seats.

Impressive Mechanics: Despite its weight, the car offers a light and agile driving experience. It features a Laystall crankshaft, 8.0:1 compression, tubular con-rods, fabricated exhaust manifold, and other performance-enhancing modifications.

A Unique Find: This historically significant British racing car is a rare find, perfect for prestigious events like the Goodwood Members Meeting and continental rallies.
