"Paul Tunnicliffe (left) in Chassis AP324, and Ian Warner in AX1652, are lined up on the grid before driving singly, in numerical order, 180deg to the starting line at VSCC Prescott on 4 August. Readers may note that AP324 was originally a Gurney Nutting Saloon, and AX1652, one of the rare 100 MPH 9’ wheelbase chassis, originally had an H.J. Mulliner Saloon body."

The attached photograph shows the car in action at this year's VSCC hill climb at Prescott. This took place just a couple of days after I took delivery — in fact, the first time I seriously drove the car was when I took it to the circuit. Needless to say, it behaved impeccably, and I was awarded a tankard for my efforts. Since then it has also competed at Loton Park, and has racked up many road miles.
She is much-loved, and is delivering all the pleasure I always imagined a vintage Bentley would."
