In this case, the car may well be a Silver Dawn Standard Steel Saloon, of the second series as indicated by the large boot with the number plate mounted upon it. If anyone has a better computer or keener eyesight than I, it may still turn out to be a Bentley R-type, but for what it's worth, my money's on it being kosher. It also has horrible white tyres, and a typically drooping rear door handle. What does strike me as odd is that the car is apparently right hand drive, in America, and most of these cars built were for export and were left hand drive. That is the main reason for my reservation that it might be a well executed converted Bentley. -- Last edit: 2017-01-01 21:43:47
