A friend of a family friend had one. He sold it to someone in the UK for $1mil. It was about the time when The Flying Scottsman was out here. He got a photo of it with the train at the North Melbourne yards before it was loaded into the container.
I wonder how much it will be worth now?

The Mercs gave chase. Pop! That Bentley's motor went. So, another one of the supercharged Bentleys flew out in front. The Mercs gave chase. Pop! That Bentley's motor went.
So, this went on all through the race. By the last few laps all the supercharged Bentleys were either out of the race or very shagged. The Mercs were pretty shagged to. No match for the unstressed naturally aspirated Bentleys.
Bentley won the race.
I love that story. That is why I'd love a 1930 Bentley. Supercharged, of course. Rarity does come into it.
That would be one of the two sisters to Gavs 101.Quote:
