"I am the owner of GO 13 (the original 8 litre registration on your website) — chassis no. YR5083. I am keen to understand more about the history of the car, but there is little available.
The car has a 3rd Su, the result of a modification by McKenzie."

To Darab Khan:
"Regarding your Bentley. It is listed as a Jack Barclay demonstrator first of all and as a HJ Mulliner coupe originally. The attached advert shows what may be your car in its first form. The advert shows it as having been built for Jack Barclays. There were only 2 HJ Mulliner coupes and only yours listed as a Barclay demonstrator.
If it is your car then the mudguards have also been changed along the way. What do you think, maybe you have already been through this."
