    I love Vintage Bentleys , check out this guy - Bob Petersen Engineering he is pure genius. One of his specials would cost about $350k to get into oz, and that's with the blower

    I met him a few years ago at a Bentley Show in the uk, he took me for a little test drive in the showgrounds........

    My ambition when I sell this house and downsize is to bring one into oz and maybe hire it out for special occasions ......... blast from the past. com has a certain ring to it

    Don't believe so. I have seen this car and its pretty sweet.

    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.

    I wonder if it is David Barnett's? I thought his was a 1923, but could be wrong. David says his is the newest vintage Bentley in the world, done less than 30,000 miles.

    The Bentley is not David's. it has been for sale for a couple of years. Provenance is poor. It is not a restored original car but a bitzer, bits from here, bits from this car, bits from that car, bits from there. Chassis came from New Zealand. 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.

    Now,guys,i bet some of you would like this......to tinker with...

    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
