You Don't Often See That

So, I was driving to my Son's place yesterday morning along the M25. It was about 3deg c & I'm doing about 65 in the slow lane minding my own business, when to my right I heard a low D-D-D-D-D-D-D, looked across & a 1930s 4 1/2 litre blower Bentley went past in the fast lane doing at least 80.

HERO!

no pics didn't happen

But you're right T, a rare sight.
I rocked up at a 2 bit car meet locally 44-5 years back, a selection of hatchbacks and the like and there was one of them there Bentleys, they'd popped in as they'd seen the cars and wanted a leg stretch - they were off to LeMans....
I smiled inside, there they were about to do more miles in an 80 yr old car that so many kit/'classic' owners do in a whole year....

I’ve seen one around Ashford and even said hello one day when I was in the Indy at a petrol station. I got the look down the nose “you’re a peasant plastic car owner” look and put me right off him. Car was lovely though.

Oh and Mark you look a lot younger than your post suggests!!

Mahoosive credit to the owner/driver for giving it some.

An old mate took his 1920’s bullnose softtop thingummy to Lemans in 2002. Looked like it was straight from the Waltons..

20-30mph all the way. Took it down the mulsanne, past the Hunaudieres cafe on mad Friday, wearing his birthday suit and a bowler hat.. Biggest cheer ever.
