Registration No: CR 9914Chassis No: 930MOT: Exempt One of just twenty-four Bentley 3 Litre cars known to have survived with its original J. Gurney Nutting coachworkMatching chassis, engine, bonnet, steering box, rear axle and gearbox numbers etcRemarkably original with pot joints at both ends of the propshaft plus Gurney Nutting floorboards / fasteners and door furnitureMuch improved during the current ownership by Ewen Getley's Kingsbury Racing Shop including an engine overhaul (£14,797.20), new clutch, replacement exhaust, relined brakes and sundry electrical workA wonderful, imposing and unusually correct Vintage Bentley "It was not the means whereby the 3-Litre Bentley performed, but the manner in which it did it, that endeared the car to sportsmen who took pride in their driving. The engine was remarkably flexible, strong and reliable, the gear ratios admirably chosen, the handling excellent and the quality unremittingly high. So, also, was the price, but an ever-growing reputation, augmented by striking racing victories - including the Le Mans 24 hours of 1924 and 1927 - ensured its success" ('Classic Sports Cars' by Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges).A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber TT racer, the newcomer's ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car's heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons.Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,621 are thought to have been made. As well as its two Le Mans victories, the Bentley enjoyed considerable success at Brooklands and even broke the 24-hour world record around Montlhery setting a 95mph average speed.According to the motoring historian and author Tom Clarke, chassis 930 is one of just twenty-four Bentley 3 Litres that are known to have survived to the present day with their original Gurney Nutting coachwork. The car also pleasingly retains its factory-fitted front crossmember (930), engine (914), steering box (926), bonnet (930), gearbox (1498) and rear axle (930 on banjo casing and nose piece). We presume that the front axle is original too but were loath to scrape away the paint. For a WO Bentley to have retained such an unusually high proportion of original components indicates that it has led something of a charmed existence. The floorboards are held in place with nicely crafted, T-headed brass bolts and we suspect the door furniture to have come from Gurney Nutting’s Chelsea workshops too.First registered in Southampton during February 1925 as ‘CR 9914’, the Bentley was built on the Standard (10ft 10in) wheelbase and supplied new to local resident J.B.M. McMeikin Esq. who is the only owner listed on its accompanying copy factory service record. The same document suggests the Open Four-Seater had (a) covered a mere 9,000 miles by the time that its five-year guarantee expired on 28th February 1930 and (b) that it dropped off Cricklewood’s radar some four years later. Surviving World War Two, the 3 Litre belonged to Captain Ivan Forshaw by the late 1940s. Former secretary of the Lagonda Club and proprietor of Aston Service Dorset, Capt Forshaw had a real love of British engineering and indeed there are photographs on file of him tinkering under the bonnet and leaning against one of the twin-mounted spare wheels. It is unknown whether he was responsible for installing the twin SUs which provide more power than the initial Smiths five-jet carburettor. Imported to America by the Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealer Neil McDade of Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1956, chassis 930 passed to famed collector Bernie Goldflies of Dayton, Ohio and near neighbour Richard Fisher before being sold to George Evenson during 1968 who kept it for nigh on thirty years. Enthusiastically evented by Mr Evenson but otherwise stabled in a heated garage, the Open Four-Seater was awarded a series of third, second and first place Certificates of Merit at various RROC regional and national meetings from the 1970s through to the 1990s. Recrossing the Atlantic in 2014, the 3 Litre then spent time in Austria prior to entering the current ownership during 2018. A true Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast, the seller has commissioned renowned marque specialist Ewen Getley’s Kingsbury Racing Shop Ltd to fit a new cone clutch, improve the wiring, restore the bezel switch and overhaul the engine via a rebore, re-magnetised magnetos, new +40 thou pistons, valves and valve guides etc. Interestingly, Mr Getley is understood to have been surprised to find the previous pistons were of the factory ‘hourglass’ type and that the propshaft had both its pot joints. Corresponding invoices total circa £23,000 and also show that the brake linings have been renewed and the carburettors attended to.Blue Label cars may be less fashionable than their Red Label counterparts but it is hard not to be charmed by this one’s originality. Featured in the Johnnie Green book ‘BENTLEY: Fifty Years of the Marque’ and starting readily upon inspection, ‘CR 9914’ is only being offered for sale to free up garage space for another Bentley project. A handsome, well-proportioned WO which could be upgraded to 4½ power or simply enjoyed ‘as is’. Accompanied by a bound ‘Technical Facts of the Vintage Bentley’ manual, the aforementioned Kingsbury Racing Shop Ltd bills, sundry other paperwork and period photographs (including a hand tinted image taken by an Egyptian photographer).

Registration No: FPK 28JChassis No: 01950MOT: ExemptCurrent family ownership since 1975Just 50,000 miles from newA rare UK-supplied, Series M example complete with five-bolt Cromodora alloy wheels and 'Dino' badgingA stunning looking Dino coming to market for the first time in forty-six years! Heavily influenced by the Dino 206 GT Berlinetta Speciale concept car (a thinly disguised 206 S sports racer) which Pininfarina had unveiled at the 1965 Paris Salon, the roadgoing Dino 206 GT debuted in Turin two years later. Compellingly curvaceous and bodied in aluminium over a tubular steel chassis frame, it seemed a fitting tribute to Enzo Ferrari's late beloved son Alfredino. Boasting all-round, independent double-wishbone suspension, Koni shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer was the first Maranello production design to feature either rack-and-pinion steering or a mid-mounted engine. Although, the 1987cc 'quad-cam' unit in question was the work of Franco Rocchi, its inspiration came via Alfredino and the legendary Vittorio Jano (who between them had convinced Enzo Ferrari of the inherent engineering merits behind a compact V6 as early as 1956). Developing a quoted 180bhp at 8,000rpm, the free-revving powerplant was allied to five-speed manual transmission and promised a 140mph plus top speed.However, despite sensational looks and inspired, race-bred handling, the announcement of an even faster variant at the March 1969 Geneva Motor Show saw 206 GT production cease in August 1969 after just 152 cars. Thankfully, its successor - christened the 246 GT on account of its larger 2418cc engine - retained the same sublime Pininfarina styling (albeit draped over a 60mm longer wheelbase). With a quoted 195bhp and 166lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 151mph and 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. To ease manufacture, the revised two-seater utilized a cast-iron cylinder block and steel bodywork. Inheriting its forebear's cabin architecture complete with steeply raked bucket seats, aluminium fascia, suede-topped dashboard and 'chrome fingered' transmission gate, the model evolved through ‘L’, ‘M’ and ‘E’ Series. Regardless of Series / Tipo designations, just 488 right-hand drive 246 GTs are thought to have been UK supplied.According to Tony Willis of The Maranello Concessionaires Archive, chassis 01950 was one of just forty-eight, ‘Series M’ Dino 246 GT cars produced by Ferrari SpA for the UK market. Specified in Argento Auteil 106-E-1 with Black 161 Plastica upholstery, Black carpets and electric windows, Order D/41 cost first owner – F. Tydeman Esq of Greystone Garage, Swanage – some £5,210.75. Copy correspondence on file between Mr Tydeman and Mike Salmon of Maranello Concessionaires reveals that the former initially planned to collect the two-seater from the factory and asked (unsuccessfully) if it could be fitted with a wood-rimmed Daytona steering wheel.In the end he took delivery of the newly registered ‘FPK 28J’ from Maranello Concessionaires’ Egham premises on 27th May 1971. The Dino 246 GT changed hands twice more before being bought by the vendor’s late husband and his brother on 3rd June 1975. Both fully apprenticed toolmakers, the siblings became enthusiastic members of the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain but restricted usage of their treasured Dino to select social trips and FOC outings.Despite being kept garaged, time caught up with the 246 GT and what the brothers thought would be a cosmetic refresh when they embarked up on it in 1991 soon turned into an extensive, ‘ground up’ restoration. The body was stripped out and all surface rust removed from the chassis. Corroded bodywork was replaced at Moto Technique of Chertsey. The front valance and sections around the rear wings were replaced. The car was painted by Spray Tech of Cirencester. All the suspension was checked and stove enamelled. The shock absorbers were refurbished by Koni. The engine was found to be in very good condition. However, as a precautionary measure the valves and seats were replaced (Nimonic) as it was alleged at the time that high mileage engines could suffer valve breakage. All the ancillary parts were renovated, some made in stainless steel. The exhaust was replaced by a new one in stainless steel. The car has been kept as original as possible with the exception of the red paint finish, leather interior and the paint finish on the camshaft covers. Even the headlights were dismantled, re-silvered and refitted.Completed during 1995, the restoration was met with much acclaim. Sadly, the vendor’s husband died thereafter prompting the 246 GT to be laid-up. Having taken the decision to return the two-seater to the road, the family entrusted it to Peter Chambers Automotive of Tewkesbury in early 2019. Recommissioned at a cost of £7,719.55, ‘FPK 28J’ remains highly presentable some two years later. Showing just 50,400 miles to its odometer and coming to market for the first time in forty-six years, this decidedly rare UK-supplied Series M Dino is worthy of close inspection.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Mike Davismike.davis@handh.co.uk07718 584217
