Completed in April of 1924, this short chassis 3 Litre was fitted with a four-seater Tourer body by Vanden Plas. Soon after it was driven to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans by Frank Clement and John Duff. Following its competition efforts, it was believed to have been fitted with a Saloon body. In 1931, it was bought back by Bentley and restored to its original guise, using a similar Vanden Plas body. It has since passed through various hands and is now on permanent display in the Le Mans Museum. At a rare outing, it is seen here at the Bentley Motors stand of the 2014 Retromobile show.
