wrong, pal
The 3 Litre was the sports car that put Bentley on the automotive map. It was a large car compared to the tiny, lightweight Bugattis then dominating racing, but its innovative technology and strength made up for its weight. The 4000 lb (1800 kg) car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, with drivers John Duff and Frank Clement, and again in 1927, this time in Super Sports form, with drivers S. C. H. "Sammy" Davis and Dudley Benjafield. Its weight, size, and speed prompted Ettore Bugatti to call it "the fastest lorry in the world."

but you still want the 4,5 litre
Today, Bentley 4½ Litre automobiles from this pre-war period, the "Belle Époque" of the automobile for some,[23] sell for around €100,000 and Blowers can fetch more than €1.5 million. The Blower is the most iconic pre-war Bentley and is coveted by collectors despite never winning a single race. For many, the 4½ Litre is to automobiles what the Spitfire is to aircraft.

looks like a Bentley speed six, and your correct about it not having a supercharger, at Le'Mans the Germans pasted them in the SSK and hundred series K roadsters due to them having supercharges, but once Bentley decided to step up and attach a supercharger to it, it flogged everything, those things fetch a coupla MILLION pounds these days.
