johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-28 15:25	April to July 1960. County Borough of Grimsby. Possibly, therefore, Bentley S2, with H J Mulliner Continental Coupé coachwork. -- Last edit: 2020-02-28 15:26:20
electra225 ◊ 2020-02-28 23:01	Aren't the headlights too low to be a series II ?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-29 00:17	This is a coachbuilt car, you can’t draw those sort of conclusions. It may well be a six cylinder car, I haven’t been able to find the exact one. The numberplate may be later than the car, the owner might have liked the earlier body design, you may note that I said “possibly”. It may have taken several months to put the body on the chassis. The Series 2 chassis was introduced in 1959, unless I can find the exact car, I go on dates alone. /vehicle_235032-Bentley-S1-Continental-Flying-Spur-1958.html Note the comment made here about headlamps by Silvawraith2. -- Last edit: 2020-02-29 00:32:52
dsl ◊ 2020-02-29 01:01	I hesitate to venture into the dark forest, but it has spiders-eye headlights and the pimple sidelights seem earliest version. with many S2s in our collection having a more normal (and better-looking) position on wing top. So did Mulliner carry on using S1 bits for a fair time after Bentley had upgraded? Did anyone notice?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-29 02:17	It could be an R-type owned by Oswald Ernest Eckersley for all I have been able to find. My opinion is that you can only go with what you see, and in this case I chose to assume that the car and the numberplate matched. Mulliner might have done what the original customer told them, or the car could be the possessor of a plate that made it look newer than it actually is. -- Last edit: 2020-02-29 02:20:29

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-29 09:04	See here: /vehicle_842000-Bentley-S1-Continental-Fixed-Head-Coupe-1956.html A decision was made!
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-29 09:10	I think I’ll concentrate my efforts on Bond Minicars from now on, it’s probably safer.
Baube ◊ 2020-02-29 16:44	i'd love to see 007's face as Q presents him one of them as his new car, telling him " What ? your name is on it " ..
