"I saw EY 9569,
a 3 litre Bentley being trailered
from Tanworth in Arden toward Stratford
on Avon on Wednesday Oct 17, 2012.
It was being pulled at a fairly high
speed through the speed bumps in Ullenhall
and onto the Stratford road by CN05
HFX. I presume it was being rehomed
at a museum or with a private owner.
Just thought that if it was important
somebody at the register might need
to know."

"I have been
looking at an unusual 3 Litre Bentley
at Betwys-y-Coed Motor Museum. The
1924 Speed Model is chassis 515, originally
registered KK 9186 and first owned
by L. Bosworth of London. There is
no record of the original coachwork,
other than it was by James Young.
"In 1927 the Bentley was involved
in a collision and fitted with a new
chassis. Another chassis was fitted
the following year and, though it
bears no numbers, it is still considered
to be 515. A Mr. Nickless owned the
car in 1933 but then ownership records
are blank until 1947 when it was purchased
by David Lloyd from Wales. The body
was changed to an open tourer and
the Bentley was re-registered as EY
9569.
"Lloyd competed with the car
and when he retired in around 1970
he fitted hardwood strips to the body,
perhaps to copy the Tulip Wood Hispano
Suiza, and restyled the tail to incorporate
a trunk. The Bentley last ran in the
1980s and, after Lloyd's death in
1994, was loaned to the museum by
his family.
