"My father owned
this car in the early 1950s and sold
it as far as I remember in the late
50s-early-60s. I travelled many miles
in as a teenager and loved it. I still
have afew photos of it somewhere I'll
try and find them. They are mainly
ones I took with a brownie box camera!
and some professional snaps of the
car on the Eastbourne Rally which
my father did for a few years.The
Bentley took us on holiday every summer
from Essex to Cornwall at 8 mpg! Never
let down. Will email photos when i
find them if it 's helpful."
