Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Now that people are getting their heads around the recent changes, it's time to have a post in the old style which has nothing to do with software updates. A proper bus at Trent Bridge, Victoria Embankment. Looking up Long Row towards Chapel Bar - Yates's is just visible on the right. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,681 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin and a supercharged Bentley at Brooklyn 1932 . 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Some automobile! Bet Siddah has seen one..looks like he's wearing a ' half' liberty bodice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 825 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I have seen this car if it is the 1929 Blower (Blower No1 ? ) I think that if 1932 then this is after Bentley ceased trading so a privately owned vehicle Sadly Birkin died in 1933 . There was a TV film "Full Throttle" with Rowan Atkinson playing Birkin. I guess the liberty bodice arrangement was designed to keep clothing tight to the body in a busy cockpit............fetching isn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 If it's any use the caption says the Bentley was owned by the Hon. Dorothy Paget . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

meeowed 314 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I remember as a child seeing one of the Birkin family driving into the factory yard on Gladstone street forest fields in a bright red cord motor car with big chrome flexible exhaust sticking out of the bonnet around the late 1940s has anyone any info on what the factory produced during the second world war I remember long lines of American 6 wheeled wagons with the star on the bonnet all along Gladstone street meeowed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
