Been out since 7.30am 😃 but had to give up as there's a wiggle on and thousands of bikes not giving way and riding five aside and 400yrd long 🙄

Here's mine out on a trip to a classic car meet in Bicester.

 

And one from the Complete Kit Car photo shoot.

At the car show on Sunday, this turned up and made a very late flash entrance at 3 PM (show opened at 9 and closed at 4 - draw your own conclusions):

Naturally enough, everyone crowded around to take a look.  It had two large engraved chrome plaques on either side of the bonnet that said ”Bentley Bologna”.  At first glance it looked sweet, but the plaques looked period wrong - very wrong.

 

However, beware the power of the internet... someone Googled the reg on their phone and announced in a loud voice, “1934 Bentley chassis, but only a modern body!  It’s a replica!”  (Some replica at 142k!) https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2016-08-20/cars/ref-22-1934-bentley-3-litre-roadster-the-pitney-special/

 

And with that, the crowd sighed and melted away...

 

A few minutes later, a man I’d spoken to earlier came by and said to me, “142k and they used M6 bolts instead of period correct?  He was diddled!” 😂  Beautiful car nonetheless.

True of course, but then we don’t usually label them as a Lotus 7.  I wasn’t one of the detractors, as I said it’s a beautiful car.
