1930 Bentley 6½ Litre SP2 Coupe (W)
A superb Bentley parked outside Hannan Bros. at 124 Angas Street, Adelaide (presumably in the late 20s or early 30s, since Hannan Bros. moved to Franklin Street in 1935). The car had apparently only recently been imported since it was still sporting UK number plates. Bentley expert Ed Harris of Hazelwood Park has identified the car as one that was owned by the late Mick Young, a well-known sporting gentleman who owned a number of other exotic sports cars. The car is now owned by Owen Burke of Sydney. It is chassis number FR2640 and the handsome coupe coachwork is by Gurney Nutting. Its guarantee is dated 27th July 1929. It is shown in light coloured paintwork on page 59 of Johnnie Green's Bentley: Fifty Years of the Marque. Ed Harris has up-to-date photographs of it and it is now dark blue.
