"I have recently come across this information in one of our famnily archives concerning one of my grandfather's Bentleys!
I thought it would be useful to add to the archive, it is interesting reading, will need to be high resolution though! I will keep looking for more, I sent you the early pictures and the Receipt for the purchase of this car already.
It details their trip in it to Zermatt (Switzerland) in 1936 via France and Italy!"
