Bentley Continental Odd Vin Numer

[rswift]

Good evening,

I'm not usually on the Bentley Forum, or any for a while to be honest, but I have a query, maybe someone can help with.

In the past I've had a Silver Shadow, and Mulsanne so not completely unaware of the cars.

So, as a project I've been to view a non running, and not particularly loved 1992/3 Continental R. It's UK registered, LHD.....part of an estate sale, so no history at the moment. Now here is the intriguing bit. The chassis/serial number is only 5 digits.....(N 00**) I'm not putting the actual numbers up for obvious reasons. This is on the plate in the door (I'll try and post pics later).

Bentley can't help, appears to be to old for them.

Anyone got any ideas....my initial thoughts are a pre-production, or development car ?

All help/ideas gratefully received.

Thank you

Thank you for the reply, I am aware of the Flying spares website.....this is what is on the car. It is also stamped into the engine bay.
