A very rare opportunity to purchase a genuine original Bentley 4.5 Litre engine.
This engine was originally fitted to a 1929 4.5 Litre Bentley chassis no: PL3499.

In very good order, after a complete rebuild by marque specialists including a complete overhaul of the bottom end using the original crankshaft with new Arrow rods. The line boring and white metalling was carried our by R.C. Moss with the invoice for the work available for inspection. New pistons, valves, and numerous internal parts were refurbished re-machined and fitted. The complete unit is still to be run in. It can be installed in a car and run immediately.

Ancillaries include:
Correct original inlet manifold.
SU Carburettors (post war).
Correct original 4.5 Litre exhaust manifold.
2 x ML GC4 Magnetos. (Standard fitting on 3 Litre cars, but suitable and often fitted to 4.5 Litre engines).
Flywheel suitable for a plate clutch
Pre-engage CAV Starter Motor.

It is thought to be the only original Bentley 4.5 Litre engine known to exist that is not actually fitted to a car. This is an original factory engine with correct original factory stampings.

Ideal to keep as a spare or perhaps used to build up a 3/4.5 Litre.
