I purchased this
vehicle in England in 2007 and brought
it back to the U.S. So it has been
in the U.S. since 2007, not 2006.
I should also mention that the coachwork
on the car is from a 1928 4½ Litre.
The coachwork is from Gill in London.
It was put on the body in 2005 by
the previous owner.
This photo was taken September 19,
2009 at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. |

"I believe this was my father Frank Sowden's first Bentley. We lived in
Yorkshire. My father would have had this car for a couple of years, before selling
the it to a guy in Hawaii, I believe. Frank sold GU 5106 and then purchased a Speed
Six, running chassis, and PPB 10, the 8 Litre, YF5006. This would have been in the early 1960s." |
