I
apologize for my absence from the web site and
my lack of correspondence with readers. Starting
January this year, I have been undergoing tests
for heart surgery and I expected the surgery to
occur in March. It has been delayed by a couple
of months. Add to that my March engagement to
be married in June. And then there is my automotive
business, McLellan's Automotive History, which
I expect to sell or liquidate by the end of this
year. Most time consuming of all was the preparation
to sell my fiancé's house. The house is
now sold and that is a great relief. Now I will
have more time to spend on the web site.
Thanks to Mona Nath, the web
site has continued on with the posting of your
photos and information. Soon I will be able to
devote the time that was spent on my literature
business towards the web site and we will see
more progress than ever. I look forward to getting
to know each one of you and sharing your enthusiasm
for Vintage Bentleys.
I would
like to thank the following vintage Bentley enthusiasts
for their contributions in May 2014:
Andrew Whittaker FIMI, Bert Degenaar, Brett
Peattie, Chester McKaige, Chris Ward, Edward LaBounty,
Ernest Van Arendonk, Ernst Jan krudop, Frank Cavasinni,
Guy Parker, John Skidmore, Justina Beck, Peter
Cartwright, Pipo Aymamí, R Morton, Ron
Doss, Russell Browne. |

By Nick Kurczewski

Bentley doesn't like things to gather dust, especially
not when its a pair of supercharged racing cars in need
of a 1,000 mile workout. That's why Bentley Motors is
bringing two examples of their famous Blowers
to the 2014 Mille Miglia, one of the worlds most
historic classic car rallies not to mention one
of the longest, at more than 1,000 miles! |
