Description

- Ex factory press car - 1st registered with iconic number 3500 TU - LeMan road wheels and side vents - Considered to be the last ‘real’ coach-built Bentley - An asset for any collection Finished in Black Sapphire metallic coachwork with Cotswold Connelly hide, French Blue and Cotswold two tone top role, French Blue Wilton carpets throughout and Burr veneer woodwork finish off this elegant cockpit. 18-inch LeMan aluminium wheels – with matching Pirelli P-Zero tyres fitted, colour coded radiator shell with chrome matrix grill, side wing vents, Green enamel Mulliner centres finish off the timeless look of this very special car. Built to order for Bentley Motors Limited Crewe, the car was designated delivery to the factory press department and issued the registration 3500 TU, which it retained for the first 3 months of its life. Following on from after its press duties the car was then sold via HROwen Limited. Over course of the next 21 years a total of 3 owners have added to the cars total ownership with the later acquiring it in 2016 where the Bentley was part of a exotic collection of sports cars. On file we have the factory issued service book stamped, owner driver hand books and tool roll. Many of these incredible cars have passed through our hands since the big BHP R Mulliner was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motorshow over 20 years ago and they still do not fail to deliver outside lane blistering performance. Benefiting from being on the larger wheelbase
