That's a lot of car, and looks like a good one. Are there any other Bentley or R-R owners in these parts I wonder?

Never been fan of Rolls Royce or Bentley, always thought them a bit ostentatious, but I must admit that that one appeals. Very nice indeed.

Ooooo that's a car I'd like to own one day, preferably dark maroon or dark blue. Any photos?

My neighbours have had a succession of Bentley and Rolls Royce.
Next door bar one had a Bentley "T" series from the early 70's which he later changed for a late (1975) Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1.

An Aston Martin V8 was an interlude until he bought a light metallic blue Silver Spirit in 1990.

My immediate neighbour from 2002 - 2005 bought a Bentley S2 shortly after arriving here.
It made my vehicles look rather humble.

The Bentley Eight in the OP's post looks superb!

Great car victor101 (sorry to divert your thread rjt10/4), maybe the Bentley T should be moved into its own thread.

Hopefully restoration will start in a few weeks, I took it off the road to do a couple of jobs, but you know how it is with old cars once you start poking around. The bodywork has suffered from a mix of corrosion and bodged repairs. I have recently overhauled the brake system due to someone using the wrong fluid, the sight glass O rings were like a pair of rubber lips which had swollen to the extent that they almost blocked the sight glass.
I would like to get it back on the road for the summer if possible, but I need to practice my welding.

Rod.
