"I purchased DN1741 from a former BDC member Jack Hilton who passed away last year. Prior to that I bought 103 from him, both cars are unique and it's an honor to look after them. Jack bought 1741 from an auction that was representing the Klein family in August 1999. To the best of my knowledge the car has never been restored. Johnnie Green sent Jack several hand written letters discussing 1741's performance in different racing events etc. All great stuff. He named the Bentley 'Green Fly". We are keeping it original, patina and all.
I have been a BDC member for seven years." |
