Each piece is hand engineered, gesturing to crafted mechanical aspects of the original 3-litre cars. The design references the materials and technology of the 3-litre Bentley, using metal finishing and hand detailing that reflects the aesthetic of early Bentley designs.
“For the love of things beautiful. The 3L Shatranj is created by a team of committed craftsmen who have dedicated their life and profession to fine craftsmanship.”
