Jack Triplett has identified the car in above photograph as Chassis no. FA2507. Jack says, "With only 3 surviving Gurney Nutting 6 1/2 litre saloons, out of 72 that Nutting originally made (my count), this one is easy. Richard Morrison's FA2507, a Weymann saloon. The landau bars were probably not on the car when it was new, but otherwise it shows how Bentleys once looked, before we lost so many to the urge to make ugly 'boy racers'." — March 16, 2009

This photograph is from an advertisement by Clarendons in "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" magazine, April 1979.

Text in ad reads: W.O. BENTLEY 6½ LITRE WEYMAN TYPE FABRIC SALOON. By Gurney Nutting. Painted in black with black to the front and beige West of England cloth to the rear of the luxuriously appointed interior. Excellent mechanically.
