B310YD.

January 1955 Bentley R-type drophead coupé. The only one with this coachwork, originally commissioned by Mr Kenneth Swift Peacock, of Guest, Keen and Nettlefold (Midlands) Ltd. During my time with the company I worked with Mr Peacock’s son, Jeremy but this car was long gone by then, I think.

Originally registered PXC161, then TWH134.

A better picture of B310YD, taken from “Bentley R-type” by Bernard L King.

You may notice that I have changed “made for HK”, which it wasn’t, to “made for GB” which it was. Mr. Peacock would never forgive me if I had left the incorrect information to be seen.
