white metal bearings

[Jonathon Rushton]

My brother was unlucky enough to run a big end bearing in his 3ltr Bentley over the weekend. We are currently on the hunt for a garage with white metaling services. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

Hi Jonathon,

Sorry to hear the bad news with the 3 litre.

David probably knows all the Vintage Bentley specialists like me but here goes...

My old friend Richard Cresswell would be my first call. He runs VBE Restorations Ltd not far from me.(Flecknoe, Warwickshire.) What he doesn't know about Vintage Bentleys. Speak to him on 01788 891548.

I understand Elmdown Engineering specialise in White Metalling - Vintage Bentleys being their bread and butter! Tel: Hungerford 581044. (Can't remember the guys name that owns it.)

Finally all BDC members know Donald Day and his eponymous company - he'll definitely know! Ring him on 01793 812323.

Hope this is helpful.

Good luck!

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

many thanks for the low down on the people who do...! I think we're due to see you on the weekend at Brands so I will buy you a beer at the bar, after the race of course....
