Bentley?

It is a Bentley, yes.
But you'll have to hurry to find out its proper name and builder as I'm not locking it, because that was the very easy bit!

Apart from your spellings yes, that's the car!
It's Chassis BC50D (that bit wouldn't fit on the heading!)

Nice, Another McCloud Bentley. This one is very similar to Pininfarina's R-Type don't you think?

It does - but I doubt if they took their inspiration from Capt McLeod!

Capt. McLeod disliked cars with long overhangs and preferred cars with wheels at each corner.
Consequently all the cars he commissioned were shortened versions of some well-known designs.
Interesting cars and a story waiting to be told on this site perhaps?
