In Scotland in 2006 / Owned by a BDC member

"Vintage Bentleys at their overnight stop in northern France. From what I recollect they were in transit to southern France possibly for a rally. The year will be around 1982. Trust these will be of interest for your site. DLR 8 I believe has been completely refurbished and I note that they have both changed colour."

Photograph was taken at Bentley Drivers Club meet at Pierre Bardinon circuit.

"YV2525 was my father's car. I still remember the day that it arrived in such a sorry state. I have such great memories of the car, I actually drove the car at the Pierre Bardonet circuit when the one photo was taken. What a pleasure! Only problem was that my father was keeping an eye on me and he saw me opposite locking round one hairpin new the museum ;.) He told me off and then told all of BDC members at the evening meal. Great times. I wish that YV2525 was sitting in my garage" — Symon Tabbenor, May 5, 2012

"I suppose that the photo at the circuit in France is around 1977 / 78, I was about 14 at the time. It was quite a funny trip for me as most lunchtimes my father had a few glasses of wine too many and I was instructed to drive the
" Old Girl" in the afternoon even though I was under age and had no license.

I went on quite a few trips in the "Old girl" with my father but I don't have any photos at all. What a shame. — Symon Tabbenor, May 8, 2012

"Later in life I was the owner of MP2219 a 4� that my father built from bits and pieces. It went really well, would cruise at 80 mph all day :-). I have fond memories of doing a few laps around the Barcelona F1 circuit. Anyway I sold the car to a guy in the UK that wanted to do the Paris Peking rally..." — Symon Tabbenor, May 8, 2012
