Comentarios del vendedor sobre 1926' Bentley 6 1/2 Litre
A simply magnificent Bentley 6 1/2 litre Bentley with a recent engine
rebuild being completed at the cost of € 50,000. The car is thus in fine
order & ready for immediate extended use.
The 12ft 6 chassis (382 cm) of WK 2661 came out of Cricklewood in
November 1926 with engine no FR 2635. Its first owner, Major Creyke,
specified a Weymann type saloon body from H.J.Mulliner. It remained in
England for a long time before being taken to Sweden by its new owner,
who had R.C.Moss convert it to a Vanden Plas style tourer in the early
Sixties.
The car is finished in a pleasing shade of blue painted bonnet & wings,
with Blue rexine fabric to the body, all of which is in fine order. To the
interior is Grey hide throughout again in lovely condition with matching
grey carpets. A black mohair hood easily erects although it appears to
have been little used.
The engine having been rebuilt is in fine fettle. It starts instantly, & pulls
very strongly in all gears. Twin driving lamps up front augment the large
head lamps during nocturnal excursions. A large & sonorous brass
klaxon is mounted under the bonnet, as is a modern full flow oil filter.
Its present owner, a Dutchman, bought it twenty-three years ago in
December 1993 from well known London dealer Gregor Fisken. He has
used it profitably to enjoy Concours d'Elegance and Rallies as far afield
as the Bentley International Tour of South Africa in 2001. During his
tenure the car has been maintained without regard to cost as indeed
attested to by the big bills that come with the car.
This 6 1/2 litre Bentley is all original mechanically, the engine is upgraded with an original speed 6 engine. It gets its charm from its distinctive bodywork
which pays tribute to the Le Mans Speed Sixes, and partly from its
torque and the superb way it drives. That's what these W.O.Bentleys are
about. It's a marvelous machine, waiting to seek out new adventures
and pile on the miles !
