For 2 points, tell me the make (very easy), model and year. As well as the coachbuilder, what was special about this car, and what was this particular model of car known as?
Bentley 3 litre 100mph short chassis open two seater. Very few made, and apparently able to get to 100 mph, no mean feat in the twenties..
Yes, that's the car. LOCKED for you to tell me the rest.
Chassis 1126, built 1925, delivered new 1925/6 to Australia, body said to be by Freestone & Webb, but now believed to be by Flood. Supplied to L.Homewood. Held the Talberg Hill record in Australia. Still in existence. (Not to be confused with 'Smokey', which is a Jarvis bodied example). Was in the Harrah collection for some time, but now back in Australia.
That's what I was after. I thought that the body was done by James Flood, which would be the one in the photo. I was also looking for 'Super Sport' model and a production run of 18, but I think you would have found that anyway. 2 points for you.
Thanks, Craig!
