whilst walking the dog i took a picture of this garage around the corner from my house. i couldnt get anymore in on a camera phone but there is a lot of metal in the garage and more spilling out onto the garden, driveway and pavement.
i thought it was worth sharing.

i am happy to take some more snaps on a proper camera if anyone interested. i dont know the guy who owns them but i cant see why he would object. i dont want to upset anyone tho. i may see if i can obtain his approval...its def. a bentley but there are loads of other cars and bikes. bit odd really as i understand he lives in the house to the front and bought the other house for garage space!

Jag S-Type or maybe 420 or Daimler Soverign in the foreground, and something old and pre-war perhaps at the back left....??

Can't make out the motorcycle in front of the Bentley either?

From the shape of the headlight I would say the bike is a BSA model

The Bentley is a strange thing, it's a Vintage Bentley, a 4 1/2, but it has much later wings that look like they've come off a thirties Derby Bentley.

Or it could be a thirties Derby Bentley special with a Vintage radiator grille and Marchals on it.

Yes, and the drivers spot light is a 30s fad. Could be re-bodied, and then one of the very unusual WO bentleys whoich has not been rebodied as a le mans rep
