Old Number One and the high court ruling on whether of not the "Bentley" purported to be Old Number One at the time, had the right to be identified as so. I mentioned that particular case case many years ago on eMog and in the more recent past on here. As one who ever put a degree of value in originality history and heritage when assessing an old vehicle, the case in question helped adjust datums for ME.
Along the lines of Richards post, it was a Vintage Bentley like others that really impressed me and caused me to look for a reasonably affordable alternative, and which had me arrive at ownership of my +8. As if to underline the good sense in my decision making, there have been quite a number of vids created involving driving Bugatti, Alfa, Bentley and other vintage vehicles as their gearboxes and axles whine panels rattle and much else... None of which would be off putting on my usual scoots around local(ish) roads, though I suspect might be more limiting if taking on a European tour, though having typed that I remember waving to a large seemingly UK registered open top vintage RR as we were driving out of Chinchon near Madrid while on a trip down to Andalusia in the Morgan.. Happy days...!
