My father had it for a few years as a work in progress.He eventually sold it & it was sent back to England & has been restored,we still have the engine & chassis no's etc somewhere if i can find them.

This was also his pride & joy,taken when new,not quite vintage,but still in the family today

Wheels are an interesting modification. Look like '37 Ford or similar. Wonder why? Knock off wires probably needed an expensive rebuild and whatever was handy were fitted. What was it, 3 litre or 4 1/2?

That would depend on who you talk to, I have always been under the impression that Vintage was pre 1930. Then there are lots of other categories, eg, veteran, pre war, post war, classic and modern but I have no idea what years they go against or whether they are static or change as the years progress. Veteran is before vintage though.

Vintage is a vehicle built before 1/1/31. Veteran is one built before 1/1/20.
There is also a classification used by mainly the more toffee nosed traditional vintage sports car clubs, "Post-vintage Thoroughbred", which are makes/models accepted as such by the club concerned, and are almost always pre WWII. The Classic Car Club of America declares the make/model as a classic car for their purposes.

Anything else is just an old car.

The Veteran Car Club of Qld. does not like "old American bangers" which was the phrase used to me by one of their prominent and long serving members.

This is a strange attitude given that some of the Brit and Euro stuff they value highly could not have driven out of sight in a day, two tons of car and a two litre four cylinder engine, and could not have reliably done a day's work on outback service such as mail and passenger services.

The vehicles that survived this work and were highly thought of in the outback were Dodge, Buick, Hudson, Cadillac, Packard, Studebaker, Chrysler, and earlier the Ford T and Overland.

Not technically vintage, but has been in the family for nearly 30 years.

Its apparently in the Bentley Showroom in Brisbane, which if people want to have a look its located in the valley near the Alfa/Audi sales rooms.

Wonder if they'll be taking it to the All British Day in Brisbane in a couple of weeks.

Its not the car I thought it was and it wasn't at All British Day in Brisbane, well not while I was there anyway.

We have been told the mileage on the advertised Bentley is original which would then make it newer than David Barnetts

I think that Cadillac was one of several classic Cadillacs at Guy Menzies place at Capalaba that Guy was restoring for owners. Guy has/had terminal cancer and I have not heard from him for a while. Would have been a hell of a task sorting out the dismantled cars undergoing restoration, spare bits and pieces, etc. I did some machining for him a few years ago.

Brian, I'm not sure if your saying that David's is a bitsa or the one advertised is, but fyi the one advertised is original and the price tag is apparently accurate
