"I purchased EL 8828 from David Scott, Vancouver Canada, in March 1986. It was registered in UK as DS 7420, I managed to recover the original Reg No EL 8828. I was a current member of the BDC and used the car for many continental tours and events with Western Region (Arthur Cox) until I sold to Rea Lipiat of Ringwood in 1993. I have a buff Registration Doc from 1955 to 1963. Also the original 1967 Goodwood Pagent programme where the car was featured on the cover. I understand that the car is now owned by somebody in eastern UK. I have many photos I will send."

"Good morning Mona, I have found my photo album and scanned some of the many photos for your records.

The photos start with my first view of the car from photos from Canada only. I bought it on recommendations from various club members. It is unloading in Zebrugge to home in Brixham Devon where I was living at the time.

I carried out a lot of refurbishment work to the interior, hood and weather gear and generally maintained the car overall. Very reliable, the only replacement were CV joints and a new clutch.

Other photos are general varied use and locations in UK and France. A great car and all numbers correct."

"I have just been reading your article referring to a Bentley owned by Mr Tyrrell. The car he is referring to was bought by my grandfather in 1961 and it accompanied him to various Bentley and other car shows. I was wondering if you would be able to pass my details onto Mr Tyrrell. I noticed he has sold it but I was wondering if he knew where the car ended up. We lost track of her for a while and were hoping that she has not ended up in someones garage rotting away."
