John_Mereness Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Joe in Canada said: Is that not the blue train in the row? Yes, it is but there is a lot of heated discussion regarding if that particular car is or is not the actually the "blue Train' record car and that the actual car is the sedan on the left. Here is an interesting read: https://simanaitissays.com/2013/11/12/barnatos-blue-train-bentleys/ One day, I will have to tell you all about the friend's "one that got away" in a 20/25 Sedan that he never bothered to order the build sheet for it when he owned (also a Bernato car) - now every RR that I touch we order the build sheet right away. His best friend never ordered the build sheet for their 1925 PI Mulliner touring - I ordered it and found it was built for the Duke of Westminster - it was pages of build and service records.

Gunsmoke Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm thinking he is trying to loosen the wheel locking nut or some such manoeuvre, perhaps trying to impress his girl? Car is jacked up, spare in wait?

Not a car 'of the period' photographed within the past 2 or 3 decades or so. Stay well all, Walt G. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
