"Going through some old photo negatives to digitize them I came across this photo of the 3 litre Bentley YH 4040. It dates from 1979 taken at a car show in Derby organised by Rolls-Royce (Osmaston Park I believe). Unfortunately I have no record of the owner at the time. Out of curiosity I Googled the reg. no. and arrived at this website. The most obvious change is the colour."
