1928 Bentley 4 1/2 Litre

[KingRichard]

I'm just itching to tell you chaps about this...

I got dragged along to the Kent County Show yesterday to watch a load of showjumping. Anyway, my boredom was lifted when I spotted the historic vehicle section

So I'm merrily making my way along the line up of Austin 1100's and Morris Itals when I spot the unmistakable prow of a twenties Bentley!

I had a lovely chat with the owner who'd been dragged into doing the display... he said the car was happiest on the open road, but had agreed to do a few demonstration runs around the display ring...

AND...

... he had a spare seat riding shotgun if I'd like to go along for the ride

A fantastic experience that I hope will be repeated! It was amazing to think that the owner could be so down-to-earth

It's certainly strengthened my resolve to find a Mk VI or R-Type

Its very noticible that owners of vintage stuff, whatever the make or model, are always happy to talk vintage motoring to like minded souls. Nice to be offered a ride to.

Does he use it for shagging though. I thought that was part of your plan. It didn't help John Steed with Mrs Peel, as I recall.

Incidentally, I would recommend a Shadow.
