With those big headlights the Bentley seems to be a character all its own...

You can imagine the Bentley parked in front of Universal Exports/MI6, Bonds Apartment or the Blades club maybe?

Domino!

Thanks sooo much for these great pics.

When I was about 12 I had a chance to go for a spin in a collector's Bentley. It was a treat and it howled down the roads.

Cars like this and of that era are a completely different breed.

Back when "motoring" was a sport.

Again, great pics!

:)

Thank you Station Domino! A pity that Bond crashed it in the novel Moonraker.
