"Chassis SM 3903 was first registered on October 21 1929 as UW 3761, the engine number entered in the log book as SM 3907. It was owned originally by the factory and sent straight away to the Olympia Motor Show. After the show the factory retained the car and used it as a showroom demonstrator for many different Bentley dealers to promote sales. In 1932, the car passed through dealer Jack Barclay Ltd., to its first customer, J. Weston Adamson of Yorks, a well known Bentley owner. The car was a subject of a total restoration in the early 1990s and its current condition is simply fabulous." "Have just seen the car in the film 'Double Bunk' 1961, driven by Ian Carmichael (5mins: 40secs for a minute or two). He trades it in for a bubble car. How times change! Very glad to see that the car wasn't scrapped." "The car appears at 00:15:26 in the Ealing film 'Birds of Prey' (which is known as The Perfect Alibi in America) from 1930 and is glimpsed again 7 or 8 more times. This is available on disc 2 of The Ealing Studios Rarities Collection Volume 4. Link to "networkonair.com" . It's driven by Frank Lawton. The film, which stars Nigel Bruce, Jack Hawkins (in his first film) and C Aubrey Smith, is based on the play The Fourth Wall by AA Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020694/"
