Bet this is fun to drive
Spotted this old Bentley out side one of my customers in Bairnsdale. It is owned by an old cocky note the location of the handbrake and gear shift, also the strategic location of the Esky. Bet it is a handful to drive.

Nice find now where's Gra makes his look like a gem leather could do with a re-fit
Not that hard to drive having riven a 1912 English Star and Delauney of similar vintage
the thing to remember is that they are all mechanical breaks meaning leg power to stop all crash boxes no syncro and crack start good fun on a winters morn

It was in having the starter motor fixed, wonder how much it is worth. Think he has had it since new.

Don't you just love the elegance of these vehicles?

bloody modern replicars
its not an original, its a special, looks like a Mk6 (The first factory bodied Bentley), would be of about the 50's, the body is a later additionI may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'm not sure where the Esky is. Is it the box thingy hanging out the side of the driver's door? Great location if it is.
