"This vehicle,
identified by the registration number,
appears a number of times in the film
"A Boy a Girl and a Bike"
The film, by Gainsborough Studios,
made in 1949, stars Honor Blackman,
Diana Dors, and a young Anthony Newley,
as well as several supporting actors
and actresses of the period. The hero,
is played by John McCallum, and it
is he who gets to drive the Bentley
in the film. In the opening sequence
there are some good frontal and three-quarter
shots, interestingly it is shown with
two spare wheels, one in each front
wing. In the first view there is windscreen
on any type, but later, when Honor
Blackman is the passenger, it sports
two racing screens." |
