Might be of help to some of you if your building the airfix or revell kits. This sounded lovely and bass-ey

yes, this was much nicer than the similar age rolls.

Very interesting motor Les.

Anyone up for converting Airfix 's big Bentley kit?

Lots of scope here for the converter/scratch builder. Engine bay particularly and this car featured looks like a long wheelbase version.

I thought the same. i've got the airfix kit so this was reference i was going to use on it. I figured the pics might help someone else too and it not often a vintage bentley owner lets you climb around his pride and joy. In my excitement i completely missed the interior though i was sat in it. I find the owners of this era cars are getting happier to let folk sit in them now the value is dropping. Its real enthusiasts that own them now which is good to see. it doesn't seem long ago these were kept in cotton wool whereas now they are being driven more. I'm sure goodwood and downtown has something to do with it

I have found that owners of classic cars tend to warm to model makers who show a genuine interest. Looks like you struck up a good rapport with that particular owner Les.
