Bentley Mark V Drop Head Coupe by Park Ward, chassis 10-B-V, Body BB.303, registration RC7339, used by AOC-in-Chief Bomber Command Harris during WW2. Dismantled August 1948. Very rare car, being an experimental chassis of the short lived Mark V Bentley of which only very few were produced on the eve of the war, being supersed by he Mark VI immediately post-war! |

For the sake of accuracy, the reference to 3 1/2 litre should be changed, to read Mk V Exp. |
