    A real Bentley enthusiast with serious money would probably get a real LeMans car, so a 4.5 or a Speed Six that entered LeMans back then!

    A blower became iconic only to later generations.

    I may be biased as I have a 4.5 original VDP tourer with original motorcycle fenders and big tank.

    I agree though something about the sound of the name Blower Bentley seems to define the era. Not the race results though that made Bentley. Blower's weren't reliable.

    Congratulations Mark

    I saw some pics of it that a friend posted on Facebook. Looks great and there was some stiff competition.

    Shame you couldn't be there.

    A tip of the hat to Marcel also! Wasn't he the person that suggested getting your Ferrari into that show? Some of those car owners take it very seriously so a VERY impressive result!!! The Duke of Marlborough award...

    John Churchill was one of the greatest British generals

    "Becoming de facto leader of Allied forces during the War of the Spanish Succession, his victories on the fields of Blenheim (1704), Ramillies (1706), Oudenarde (1708), and Malplaquet (1709), ensured his place in history as one of Europe's great generals."

    The country paid for Blenheim Palace in thanks. Of course it ran well over budget but is magnificent.

    The current Duke of Marlborough has had a fair share of troubles, some drug related, and spent some time in prison over a road rage incidence, but seems to have calmed down as he matured.

    Winston Churchill, a distant cousin, was born at Blenheim.

    It is a fantastic backdrop to great classic cars such as Mark's TDF

    Well, maybe you can have identical made out of Nomex ? You know, in case you ever decide to seriously track the 0895GT ;-)

    It was a fabulous day at the Salon Prive today, there was a wonderful line up of cars and it was a beautful day. My sister and her family were able to go to the show and my 10 year old nephew was in the car as it drove through. He was grinning from ear to ear!

    There were many great pictures taken today of all the cars including of 0895gt. This hands down is my favourite. I'm trying to find who took it but believe it was first posted on Instagram by @TFJJ
