There are many movies all about cars, with a small
amount of plot, others featuring long dramatic car chases,
but there are also many movies and TV shows where the
choice of car helps to define the character of the hero
or villain, highlight the fashions of the time the film
was made or even transform and otherwise ordinary film
onto an iconic one...
We have brought together a list of Vintage Bentley cars
that have been in showbiz. Most chassis nos. have been
identified based on the reg plate in the photo —
not always the most authentic method... Some chassis
nos. could not be identified at all — that's where
our readers can contribute with some detective work.
