Bentley Continental GT3 Gen 1

Description:
Bentley Continental GT3 Gen 1 #002
A chance to buy a piece of motorsport history! Bentley Continental GT3 chassis #002 is a car which holds a firm place in the annals of time. Not only was it the first ever Bentley GT3 to be fielded in competition (chassis #001 was used exclusively for development and testing), but it was the very car honoured with the prestige of returning the famous English marque to motorsport for the first time since its illustrious 2003 Le Mans victory.
Developed, built, and raced by the renowned M-Sport, Chassis #002 made its race debut in December 2013, claiming an excellent 4th place finish in the Abu Dhabi 12 hours. What made its inaugural race even more notable was that 2003 Bentley Le Mans race winner Guy Smith was part of the three-man crew who brought it home just shy of a maiden podium.
The car boasts a full and rich race history inclusive of the British GT title in 2017 in the hands of Seb Morris and Rick Parfitt Jnr (son of Status Quo’s Rick Parfitt Snr).
Fresh from a full M-Sport service the car is prepared to the highest standards. It is ready to race and it is presented in its original iconic release livery.
The car is made for sale with the following spare parts package included:
- 2 x Sets of Rims
- 2 x Sets of Air jack Props
