"One of my neighbours, Barry Jenkinson, owned YO 6878 between about 1953 and 1958. Barry has asked me whether I could trace the car or at least find out something of its more recent history. I have a photograph of the car in the 1950s.

"I was curious to know if a Bentley that my father-in-law once owned was still around so I ran a search via Google on the registration number (YO 6878). To my surpise the car did show up on your website so I am now wondering if it would be possible to contact the current owner.

We have some photos from the 1950s and I believe that there is some other information on the car available.

I would be intersted to know if the current owner is contactable and if they are interested in discussing the history of the car. We would be very interested to see it!"

Photos (from the 1950s) and information on the car is available with the then car owner. We were contacted by his son-in-law in April 2012 with this info.
