"Now here's a Vintage Bentley I can talk miles about as I purchased and restored this car in the late 1970s. My brief at that time was to build this very original Bentley to full LeMans spec. Some 2 years later I had finished the rebuild and now looking at the speedo she has done some 19000 miles.
I have seen her over these 25 years giving lots of pleasure to her past owners and always looking very smart. The paperwork shows some 5000 miles ago a full once over including a full engine rebuild.
This is a very, very good LeMans Bentley. I've bought it back four times in the last 28 years."

"Owned the car for some years in 80s and 90s. Was registered HAA 16 from 1948 when it returned from South Africa. I obtained original registration RX 6040. Believe owned by S.A. Embassy and exported at outbreak of War. Rebuild by Townsend into Le Mans, the first one he did I believe. I still have Reg HAA 16."
