Bentley ‘Old Number One’ special, chassis 1947.
Chassis (VIN) number B172AK. Body colour grey combined with red wire wheels. Interior upholstered with red leather and matching red wool carpet.
This gorgeous Bentley ‘Old Number One’ replica was built on an original 1947 Bentley Mk VI chassis. The car was built by Vintage Car Serry in the Netherlands. This renowned firm builds bespoke recreations of Bentley’s legendary 1929 - 1930 Le Mans-winning Speed Six ‘Old Number One’ for ten years now. This impressive automobile was built with authentic and fully overhauled Bentley MK VI mechanicals (4,25 litre Bentley B60 straight-six engine and Bentley 4-speed gearbox), wonderfully hand-crafted aluminium bodywork, and perfectly crafted leather and wool upholstery for the interior.
This splendid example was completed in 2016 and road registered in 2017.
From then, the car has known only one careful owner who has enjoyed the car for 4981 miles.
This fine Bentley special was built and finished to very high standards and is in excellent condition! Because this special is based on the sublime Bentley Mk VI chassis and mechanicals (which were the best of the industry in the 1940s) the handling and operation of this automobile is pleasant and easy compared to the 1929 original.
The open top driving experience is magnificent and the powerful rumble coming from the exhaust with Brooklands silencer and fish-tail is addictive!
The look on and over the aluminium dashboard with an array of gauges is impressive and gives one the feeling of being a fighter pilot. The interior offers ample space for a tall driver and co-driver. In the back you will find a spacious boot where the spare wheel is housed, and where you can store your baggage.
The unique Bentley Speed Six ‘Old Number One’ is one of the most iconic cars of the ‘Bentley Boys’ era.
This stunning handcrafted aluminium replica, featuring an original Bentley chassis and mechanical components, brings the thrill and larger-than-life heroism of the Le Mans ‘Bentley Boys’ to the world of an adventurous new owner!

Background to the original Bentley Speed Six “Old Number One”.
The original 1929 Bentley Speed Six ‘Old Number One’ (chassis LB2332) is a legendary Bentley racing car. It won the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1929 (driven by Woolf Barnato – Tim Birkin) and in 1930 (driven by Woolf Barnato – Glen Kidston). From 1929 to 1932, it achieved numerous first and second place finishes in the Brooklands 6 Hours, the Irish Grand Prix, and the Brooklands 500 Miles race. In 1932, a new 8-litre Bentley engine was fitted for a hattrick of victories in the Brooklands 500 Miles. Tragically, it was not to be, as driver Clive Dunfee suffered a serious accident. The Bentley left the circuit at 204 km/h (127 mph) over the Brooklands banking, killing the driver and severely damaging the car. Woolf Barnato, the car's owner, had the chassis repaired and fitted with a coupé body for road use. Barnato used the car on his 10,000-mile North American honeymoon. Fittingly, “Old Number One” led Woolf Barnato's funeral procession in 1948. Between 1950 and 1990, “Old Number One” underwent several bodywork modifications, including a Mulliner coupé body and later a reconstruction of the 1930s two-seater racing body. In the 1990s, its provenance was challenged in a famous High Court case, but chassis LB2332 (registration number MT3464) remained recognized as “Old Number One”. Present: Retained by Bentley Motors as one of the crown jewels of their heritage fleet. The original Bentley Speed Six, “Old Number One”, is displayed at the Bentley Motors Heritage Collection in Crewe, England.
