Lot details Registration No: HKW 164 Chassis No: B480NZ Mot Expiry: Exempt
Beginning life as a Standard Steel Saloon, chassis B480NZ was initially earmarked for Tilleys Crumpets Ltd but actually delivered to The British Manufacturing & Research Co (an arms manufacturing subsidiary of Hispano-Suiza). Decidedly tired when sold by the Real Car Co in 1990, it returned to the road some nine years later having been converted into a two-seater Special. Sporting a K&N air filter and tubular exhaust manifold, its original 4.5 litre `big bore' straight-six engine is allied to a similarly stock four-speed manual gearbox (albeit that the latter is augmented by overdrive). Although `Declared Manufactured 1946' appears on its V5C Registration Document, accompanying copy chassis cards show that the Bentley dates from 1951/52. Currently running / driving and showing an unwarranted 29,956 miles (circa 250 more than when passing its last MOT on 30th April 2013 with no advisories), `HWK 164' is accompanied by assorted old MOTs and service instructions.
