alsancle Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Not hyperbole to say that it is very hard to find a bad looking Derby Bentley. Am I weird that the armor all on the tires scares me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I had this one for a long time and couldn't sell it. I think the colors were the kiss of death, although the restorer thought they were far better than the original dark blue. Meh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those colors are hard to sell to the club guys. Which I’m sure made this car is not easy to get rid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 "...In lovely running order," is contradictory to "the engine does not start due to missing battery!" Which is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is it? I'll just keep posting them when I find them and it's up to you boys to pick them apart.😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
