Still is, according to the DVLA. BTW it seems to be 3½ litres, which is non-standard (3 litre is 2996CC) ... Date of Liability 01 06 2008 Date of First Registration 22 06 1927 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 3488CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry |

Another example of why you can't trust the DVLA. This car is a 1927 3-litre currently fitted with the 4398cc engine from a 41/2-litre Bentley of similar vintage. It still exists, in UK. The Bentley Drivers Club refers to such cars by reference firstly to their original chassis type, and secondly to their current engine's origin. This car is therefore correctly described as a Bentley 3 / 41/2. -- Last edit: 2008-02-08 16:39:21 |

Ralph, please remove "litre" to just show 3/41/2. That will then be how the Bentley Drivers Club, which is the authority on vintage Bentleys, would show it. |
