The Bentley 6.5-litre was the answer to the demand for a more powerful car. Especially
Bentley 3-Litre and 4.5-Litre with a heavy bodywork suffered from a lack of power.

Pictures taken at the "Technoclassica 2009" in Essen, Germany

chassis no. LB2344. This car was originally built with a H.J. Mulliner saloon body.
In the 1930's the body was replaced by a coachwork made by Paddon Brothers Ltd.
