Apr 12, 2012
"The car was built for Mr Adcock to race after the War. He was believed to be a Spitfire Pilot by Fred Hofman. He was the legendary Pre-War Bentley tuner and of Hofman and Burton / Mountford fame. The car was also owned and raced by Barry Eastick then Harold (Spitfire) Pounds who added a Spitfire water pump on lowering the radiator, raced by daughter Dane Scott-Brown. It was briefly owned by Ed Hubbard and was passed via Stanley Mann to Adam Stacy-Marks who then owned and campaigned the car for the next 25-plus years."

"Dear Sir,
With reference to GO 5629, I have
submitted some images of Bentley 1930
4½ litre GO 5629 whilst in
my ownership.
I purchased the car from Ed Hubbard
via Stanley Mann in 1988 and gradually
rebuilt and modified the car for campaigning
in a number of different disciplines
and events. When purchased, it had
an alloy unpainted finish and was
on a 9ft shortened chassis with a
piece of chassis removed from behind
the radiator and replaced ahead. This
was unmodified and lengthened to 9'
9" enabling an overdrive to be
fitted for long distance rallies.
The "A" box was converted
to "D" spec. The heavy crank
car ran on white metal mains and shell
big ends and was regularly revd
to 4000 rpm. It was painted specifically
to gain entry into the Mille Miglia.
In 1988 I raced the car at Oulton
Park, Prescott Hill Climb, Silverstone,
Cadwell Park
1989 Silverstone (2), Monthlery, Donington,
Oldtimers Grand Prix, Nurburgring
1990 Silverstone (2)
1991 Silverstone (2) Wiscombe Park
H.C, Monthlery, Cadwell Park (VSCC)
Eiffel Classic Nurburgring
1992 Monthlery
1993 Wiscombe Park, Cornbury, Aubusson
and LeMans Bentley Commemoration,
Monthlery
1994 Monthlery, BDC Silverstone, Croix-en
Ternois
1995 Silverstone (2), Millbrook
1996 Silverstone (2) Cornbury Sprint,
Millbrook, Abingdon Sprint, Nurburgring
1997 Year off!!
1998 Nurburgring
1998 Monthlery
1999 Monthlery, Etretat Hill Climb,
Zandvoort
2000 on-to the car being sold 2009
the car was continually raced
at events home and abroad to include
Spa-Francorchamps, Chimay, Angouleme.
It was also campaigned on the Winter
Marathon 3 times and completed the
Millie Miglia sucessfully. It entered
generally some 3-5 events per annum.
From c. 1995 on the car was serviced,
maintained and developed by Tony Fabian
of Blackmore Engineering-Shoreham
by Sea U.K
Hope this is of interest." |

"My father Harold
Scott Pounds and myself then known
as Mrs Daena Scott Brown competed
in this Bentley from 1958 to 1969.
The Bentley was rebuilt following
a head on car crash with a Jaguar
in 1959. Returning to the racing scene
in 1960... The car was lightened,
lowered and shortened in the rebuild...
Noted amongst the car's many past
successes was the record of 119.750
mph over the Flying kilometre at Antwerp
in 1959." |
