Gender Crisis

That '69 T again.
I recall seeing this car in October before it's 'Gender Change' - or should I say before it's gender change was reversed....
That's 'It' at the front.
Interesting history in Rodd's words:
 

"This particular Bentley has a unique delivery history which makes it interesting. The first buyer saw the vehicle on the show room floor and loved the colour combination but actually wanted a Rolls-Royce. He was not prepared to wait the lead time to order the Rolls-Royce equivalent so – at great expense – had the car converted to "appear" as a Rolls-Royce. Commissioned by Rolls-Royce USA, the grill, bonnet, hubcaps and external badging were changed to "Rolls-Royce". All original Bentley VIN and IDs remained in place, of course (The prefix "SBX" on the VIN is a correct Bentley VIN*). As part of the restoration process, Park-Ward Motors has re-instated its correct "Bentley" presentation as per factory specifications."

This Bentley’s story is truly fascinating—a rare example of how craftsmanship and identity can be reshaped and then carefully restored. It’s a reminder that details matter, whether in classic cars or in other areas. For example, the assignment help reviews are helpful because the reviews for the assignment help show that students gain confidence and clarity when they choose services with proven quality, much like how collectors value authenticity and history in cars like this.
