"I convinced Dad to show at Radnor (PA) this year. They've been after him for quite a few years. It was stinkin' hot — 92 degrees in the shade. Fortunately, we had a choice spot under the only tree on the field. Here we are next to Dad's 1931 8-litre Bentley."

My recollection of Bentley dates to 1965 (the year Capt. Hewitt died). The car had been in storage at Bryn Aber for many years and it was brought to my father's garage for recommissioning — I had the task of fitting a new set of tyres. The car was sold soon afterwards for the princely sum of ?7500. (?135.000 in today's money). I wonder where the car is now."
