"I have much
information on this car of course
and its history. The earliest photo
is from 1927. The first owner was
not Brune Prideaux as in Clare Hay's
book but Fulke Knatchbull Prideaux
Brune who was a Director of Bentley
Motors although not yet at the time
of purchase in December 1921.
Could Lars Hedborg who kindly posted
the 1969 photo which I think shows
Prince Bertil as the passenger please
give me more info on the event / the
publication and date." |

Early
1960s - Mid-1990s |
|
|
This car has a Swedish
history. It was imported here in the
early 1960s from Kenya by Douglas
Ebbersten, Esq. It was sold abroad
by him in the mid 1990's. It was used
extensively by the secretary of the
Arctic Region (Swedish section) of
the Bentley Drivers Club, Sven Härnström.
Coachwork is by Cadogan.
It was auctioned about 1990 by the
leading Swedish auction company, Stockholms
Auktionsverk, but did not meet reserve.
I wrote the catalogue text. |
