"This car was
featured in a children's book by Val
Biro called 'Gumdrop and the Secret
Switches', published in 1982.
There is an illustration, inside the
book, depicting the start of the race
which shows the Bentley with the number
plate GY 3905. (Also on the front
row of the grid is an Alfa Romeo,
Vauxhall and a Bugatti. At the finish
the Austin 12 wins with the Bentley
second. Third place goes to the Vauxhall
with the Bugatti fourth!!!)" |
