For one point, specify the make, and coachbuilder ?
Experts ?
1934 Bentley? Don't know about the coachbuilder at the moment.
Yes ,Bentley circa 1934 !
Bentley 3 1/2 litre Letourneur & Marchand, supplied August 1935 to Sir Robert Bland Bird, Bt., MP, Chairman of Albert Bird & Sons Ltd, custard makers. UK registration ALM 90. Chassis nr . B86BN. This pic is out of La Vie Automobile. Ordered as a fixed head coupe, but then changed his mind and it became a four door saloon..
Yes , it's the car !
The "Letourneur yo-yo period " :
1 point for bentleybob !
And :applause: for the 200 points :)
Thanks for the point, and how appropriate it is with a Bentley that I get :hah: to 200! :lmao:
Congrats bentleybob! :cheer:
BTW: A bit of an eccentric, this guy who ordered the car. Who in his right mind, an MP and all, would order French body like this on a English build Bentley, and an oddity like this at that. And the colours: Body in grey-green, with black mudguards, beige accents on body and beige painted wheel discs, interior in tan hide and fawn tapestry...
Thanks João, for the congrats..

I hope you'll agree that the name of the synthetic custard company and the family that ran it was Bird, not Birt! At least it wasn't custard-yellow in colour.
Yes Bird, not Birt. And tx
Congratulations Bentleybob! :applause:
