Just happened to catch a glimpse of one of these awesome machines as I was parked in a side road. It was the noise that made me look!
From what I can gather it was a 1933 4.5 litre Bentley.
It was in BRG, I do not know much else about it. It seems to resemble the one on track in my first pic though as I don't even think it had lights!
I'm curious to find out exactly what it was. I wouldn't like to guess how much it is worth!
I actually work on Vintage Bentleys when i go home in the summer for a good friend of mine. That is most probably a 4.5 litre, its possible though it is an 8 litre.
We are currently building a 1926 le mans Racer back to all its former glory, and the price for a good 1923 saloon 4.5 litre is £150k

imagine what it's like hurtling along in the fugger.
Think I'd spitfire all over my own pants.
Dude, I was parked down a side street picking up my mates lass with him and it rumbled along Gossy high st! Imagine seeing that thing at Bluehouse roundabout. lol

I would take two, if it would not be so cold at winter
