1929 Bentley S/S Special 'Monty'

This car took part in an Eight Lap Scratch Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It was built by Stanley Mann's restoration company, mainly by Stewart Fernside, and has a single seat body and 8 litre engine, and is named 'Monty'. Apart from that I can't find much information about the car. It was listed in the programme of the event as a 1929 Bentley S/S Special and was driven in the race by Stanley Mann. It has a close resemblance to another of Stanley Mann's Bentleys, 'Old Mother Gun', and also to the Bentley Pacey Hassan, both of which took part in this meeting.

Bentley 4½ litre

This car competed in the two MicroProse Spirit of Speed Pre-War Sports Car Races that took place on Saturday 31 July and Sunday 1 August at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in 1999.
It's a Stanley Mann Racing 1931 supercharged Bentley 4½ litre and was driven in the races, the programme says, by Prof Dr Michael Rudnig and Stanley Mann. This car, chassis #MS3931 was originally built with a Weymann saloon body by Gurney Nutting, and the first owner was a James F Bryson. It was rebuilt in 1993/95 and fitted with the Le Mans replica body seen above.

Bentley 3/8 litre

This car was in a team of Bentleys that took part in the 2 hour long VSCC Pre-War Sports Car Team Relay Race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2006.
It's the 1927 Bentley 3/8 litre of Adam Singer, and the original 3 litre Red Label Tourer is described in this history of the car when it was put up for auction in 2003 by H&H Auctioneers. It was apparently bought at that auction for a client by Stanley Mann Racing and was in need of a complete rebuild, during which it was given the 8 litre engine.
