I've never seen a Bentley like this before, can anyone shed some light on it? Is it custom or factory and what year is it? Thanks Dave Dave, I think that is a Bentley Continental, but the tapered roof looks longer than I remember seeing. Bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the car with the star went 💥 boom 💥 …………I didn’t see it, but was told it made a very bad noise. It was parked in a trailer, and did not attempt the tour.

Thanks Dave Dave: That is one of the 1952-1955 Bentley Continental R-Type by H.J. Mulliner. This Curbside Classic biography/history of John Blatchley and Rolls-Royce & Bentley design is as good a history on how these gorgeous cars came to be as you'll read.

edinmass Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yes…..the current owner bought three cars to unscramble the mix and match it has been for the last 60 years……..I expect it’s a BOS winner this year.

edinmass Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Sitting at the FBO in Monterey………lots of attractive ladies here……….you know the type. The ones seen getting on & off private jet aircraft. Most seem to have modified and non authentic coachwork. Plastic and silicone seem to be the order of the day. 😎 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counts me out... I'm glad they have such rules for PB, and glad they explain it so well on their website. Afterall, it's the best of the best not "and those others". The amazing thing to me is that anything with pure and authenticated provenance are allowed (and encouraged) to submit. Most won't make the cut but it's good to see they at least consider any make and model depending on class and needs they are trying to fill any given year. They make it equally fair to all parties but without that true historical data guys like me just wish we had a father lol.

Jimmy Buffet has one he crashed and credits taking a US Navy survival crash course for saving his live. He restored it and it’s now on display at one of his bars. I will say blue is not a great color for a sea plane if it has to land in the ocean because of an engine failure. dave s Pretty sure that's a Grumman Albatross. Grumman Duck is an older, smaller airplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I didn’t attend the tour this year……just the lineup. Lots going on………and we don’t have a car here for the first time ever. They dropped the coffee stop in the Mariposa Woods, and the lunch was canceled from Covid…….only in Califunny………….so it wasn’t worth the time.
