Amazing! How do you RR-Bentley experts trace these things?! |

There are Big Books of coachbuilt RR/Bentleys - think of the sort of ancient volumes wizards use in Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings and you're on the right lines. |

Most of the cars from the Royce or Bentley stables are extremely well documented, in the case of cars built from the 30s onwards to the S Series books are available listing every known chassis number, its history and its subsequent life or fate where known. If the plate was recorded in the books they provide a trustworthy audit trail. Where I can relate a plate to a chassis number via the books I do, but you may see that this isn’t always possible, as with a couple of the Bentleys in this film. |

Not just the coachbuilt ones, nearly all of the Standard Steels are in there as well. (Even mine) If you don’t have a plate by which the car can be traced in the books, it is possible to identify many from just prior knowledge in the same way as you would call any other car, but since coachbuilts can vary quite substantially from one car to the next, it is always better to have a plate or a chassis number from which to work. @Gamer, thank you for your kind words. -- Last edit: 2018-11-17 20:57:15 |
