Bentley 3/6 litre sports racing car kit with V5C

I am a specialist vintage and classic car restorer with decades of hands-on experience. For some time I have been collecting parts for a special project: a Bentley sports racing car with the Speed 6 or 8-litre engine. This was originally intended as my own retirement build - something I’ve long dreamed of creating. However, as I approach retirement I have come to the realisation that I will not be able to finish it in my lifetime the way I had hoped. Rather than let these carefully gathered parts sit unused, I have decided to pass this opportunity on to another enthusiast who can bring the car to life.

The package includes a V5C document and the registration for a 1934 Bentley, giving the finished car genuine period identity and roadworthiness. A full detailed list of parts is below.

My team and I can offer to complete the build, or source and supply any additional components.

International shipping can be arranged. Viewing upon request. Part exchange considered.
