Important Notice to Potential Bidders at the Gooding Christie’s Auction

Retromobile New York November 2026

• This 1927 Bentley 6.5 Litre Le Mans Coupe Special (Chassis No. BX2411, Engine No. BX2410, Registration YF 2186) is offered strictly on an “as-is, where-is” basis, with all faults and without any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
• Bidders are expressly advised that this motorcar has undergone a complex, 100-year history of reconfiguration and evolutionary restoration. While originally delivered as a Harrison-bodied Landaulette, it is currently presented as a bespoke "Bentley Special" featuring a restored, period two-door Harrison coupe body integrated with custom Le Mans styling elements.
• Mechanically, the vehicle is currently fitted with an upgraded, non-original 8-Litre engine block. The removed, 6.5-Litre engine block is included in the sale as a separate lot component, in "as-is" condition, and transport of this spare block is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
