I don't think we've had one like this before so there's a point for telling us the make, approximate date and model (or other suitable description!)

Still no guesses but lots of viewings so let's promote it.

Close but not close enough! Three right out of four.
Locked until your next posting.

Hopefully I have the correct year, make and model. It must then be the 1922 3 litre TT Bentley.

I think that will do for the point, Craig.
To be strictly accurate it is a modern reconstruction of chassis 82 in "as close a style and detail to the TT cars as possible" to quote the owner.
He told me it has a surprising number of genuine parts which characterised the TT and Indianapolis cars.

Here's my original photo and one that is supposed to be of the Indanapolis car:
