We were once asked the very same during a radio interview, my father said “yes, it was a gift to my wife for her 21st birthday”!

The handbag smacking his face can be clearly heard on the recording.

Driving around Bicester in the Seven this morning and spotted a 2/3 scale “vintage” Bentley driven by a chap wearing a crash helmet, for some reason…the car and the driver just looked all wrong, but we gave each other a wave anyway…

Are you sure it wasn't a proper Bentley with a 1 1/2 scale driver? Big Grin

Indeed, since most 3 litre Bentleys have 4 1/2 litre engines, why should an original camion from Cricklewood not have an enlarged driver?

In the days of yore, we would always be on the lookout for a three litre Cortina. Two leets at the front and one at the back...
