robgeelen2 ◊ 2010-04-26 11:34	Oddly enough this registration number was on a 1951 Bentley Mk VI which was finished in a special light two tone grey colour ( which cannot be this car)which was then dismantled (which must have been as a result of a car accident), but was then transferred to an earlier black Mark VI Standard Saloon with chassisnr. B 201 HP.

Pierre ◊ 2016-05-28 13:39	The somewhat massive lines arguably suggest frandau's colossal Cadillac vs. delicate Delahaye. Possibly, for some technical reason, the Bentley was used for Orson's character's car interior shots referred to on the Silver Wraith page.
