"My Grampa used to own this car, this was rebuild as one of two HM Bentley Conversions. The other car was DLR8. FML3 had a Bentley D-Type Box, 30 gallon slab tank, two Spare wheels and it was on 18" wheels it was also a 2 seater. This was done in the mid 30s. It was grey when he owned it but he painted it green."

"I have just found a picture of this car which was first owned by my grandfather Gerald Wills when he was St Cambridge, I think. In the passenger seat is my grandmother, I think before they were married. I understand he had at least two other Bentleys but have no detail of them."
