Re: 1934 Le Mans Bentley Replica

You might think that the Bentley Drivers Club would object to such obvious 'trickery'.

As an Austin 7 owner I personally object to the removal of the Austin 7 wings and logo from what looks to be a reasonable Austin 7 special.

Does it overheat with the radiator so covered with tat ?

Cheers, Tony.

Somewhat reminiscent of all those white roofed, BRG Austin Minis with bog-standard 850 engines but loads of Paddy Hopkirk bolt-ons, chequer tape go-faster stripes and Monte Carlo badges one used to see in the 1960's.
It really should go into a museum aimed at the lover of kitsch and tat.
I'd go and see it as long as it wasn't more than 10 miles away. No doubt someone will fallen love with it and snap it up..

I wonder how an Austin-branded blower Bentley would go down with the BDC?

Poor little Cambridge, what have they done to you? They covered you with "B"s and Union Jacks and car club chintz. Seriously, though, I want that invisible blower!
