Just happened to catch a glimpse of one of these awesome machines as I was parked in a side road. It was the noise that made me look!

From what I can gather it was a 1933 4.5 litre Bentley.

It was in BRG, I do not know much else about it. It seems to resemble the one on track in my first pic though as I don't even think it had lights!
I'm curious to find out exactly what it was. I wouldn't like to guess how much it is worth!

One of the lads on another forum just said he helps a friend restore a collection of Bentleys. Currently building a 1923 Le Mans racer. valued at £125k ish. That's nowhere near as much as I assumed.

He said the one I describe could well be an 8 litre though. That explains the Spitfire like sound! lol
