This photograph is from an advertisement by Clarendons in "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" magazine, July 1978.
Text in ad says: 1929 Bentley Speed Six with two-door fixed head coupe coachwork with rumble seat, by Mayfair. Completely restored over a period of several years. Painted cream and brown with tan hide upholstery. In every respect this vehicle is magnificent and the investment potential is excellent.
