Not certain that Regent III is quite right, and I would suggest just Regent. Please read this -

and see what you think. Certainly the original chassis pre-dated the Regent III, but that chassis no longer exists. The body post-dates the original chassis and adds yet a a further level of complexity to the story. The registration number is also a bit of a misfit, as it’s 1938.

Occasionally, I do find time to do something other than Bentleys!
