Chassis number three, a 1921 Bentley 3 Litre which was in fact the very first car to be delivered to a customer from W.O Bentley’s factory in Cricklewood, North London, is going under the hammer at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California with the car specialist Gooding & Co.

The vehicle has in fact been raced in the most part of its life but the condition is said to be wonderful with the original coachwork, brass work and the hood.

The price tag is expected to come in at around £625000
