    Very nice, enjoy it! Hopefully you bring it to some car shows so I can see it in person too.

    Congratulations, looks great and welcome to the pre-war world.
    How do they handle at speeds and/or are they even designed/intended for spirited driving ?
    I’ve heard the (earlier?) “Bentley Boys“ type racers are very powerful & fast, but some have compared their at speed handling to a freight train. OTOH, that could be just lack of understanding and perhaps comparisons to more modern instead of other cars of same period (i.e. “apples-to-apples”).
    Curb weight & WB ?
    Drivers seat space enough and/or practical for 6’ tall with long legs ?

    Thanks.

    Yesterday was the first real driving i have done in the car and i will say it has more power than i expected. This morning on the freeway i was cruising at 70 no problems. Even though the car is heavy it feels nimble on turning .
    I did measure the car last night to see if it would fit in the garage and its about 185" from front to rear, the wheels are set far forward and and back so i would guess WB to be around 150" Weight i don't know but will look in my paperwork.

    :cool:
    Thanks for your assessment, but if you don't mind, I'd love to hear/read more once you gain some experience.
    Hope to see you and "her" in action one day upon some local (mountain ?) highways. ;)
