Graeme Miller, owner of Chassis No. LR2785, talks about the special history of his 1930 vintage Bentley and its erstwhile role in keeping law and order in Australia. "This was one of two cars delivered new to the Western Australian Police Force in chassis form only", says Graeme Miller. It was used by the Force from late 1930 to 1946.
