Illustrated in the lower picture of Johnnie Green's book "Fifty Years of the Marque". Features include running-board-mounted trunks. Grabel headlamps and spotlight, helmet wings, fishing-rod holder and so on. The car is original in every detail.

I would really love to hear from current owner of JK 221.

My father also had links to other Bentleys — YP 7937 owned by Paul Bentley from 1972 and has a receipt from 1967 for a partly dismantled 3 litre Bentley Reg: AX 4139 (£150).
