This car was originally built in 1923 as a long chassis 3 litre Tourer, now with a nice short chassis, but has subsequently had a four and a half litre Bentley engine fitted and a Le Mans Replica body. The 4.5 litre was an evolution of the three litre sharing the cars basic chassis, semi-elliptical suspension and four wheel brakes The 4398cc engine gave around 110bhp in road going for stretched to 130bhp for racing. A 4.5 litre crashed during the 1927 Le Mans 24hour race but another driven by Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin claimed overall victory in 1928.
