Thought I had better give an update on our vehicle seeing as it didn't quite make the trip. There were a couple of issues that we discovered, the main one being a split in the rear of the bottom tank of the radiator - this has been fixed, however there is still have a small leak elsewhere - so am unsure whether it will make it to All British Day. I will attach a couple of pictures from a trip last Sunday - lets just say that there were some excellent cars to be viewed. There are apparently 12 WO Bentleys in SE Qld, 10 of which were present.

If you look at the WO Bentley pic the 7th car from the left is a Blower Bentley. I believe there were only 50 made and this is the only one is Australia.

One of my bosses in Melbourne had a blown Bently, (at least that is how I remember it) his name was John Creswell.

Cheers, Mick.

There are actually 2 in the country I believe. Warren said you had 11 WO's there! He also gave me a run down on his garage!!!!

Sounds like a great day, well done on getting the car there.

Cheers,

Cheers,

Warrens garage or the one we visited? Very interesting viewing

Fairly sure there were only 10, unless another was hiding somewhere in the shed. Pics show another view of the cars.

Such a lovely vehicle, Guy...thanks for posting, and I do hope you'll be along on the 2013 trip.
