The Bentley Camargue

It is well known that there is only one Bentley Camargue.

It was made in 1985 and has VIN SCBYJ000XFCH10150 in green.

And here it is.



Number plate B199 MDF.



Having a look up the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency of B199 MDF and Bentley gives us the following information:

This car in certainly registered as a Bentley, hence it is SCBYJ000XFCH10150, and not a Rolls-Royce to Bentley grill swap.



Decoding SCBYJ000XFCH10150 relays the following information:

SC = Manufacturer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited, Bentley Motors (1931) Limited
B = Branding Bentley
YJ = Model Camargue
00 = Engine Type 6.75 Litre V8, naturally aspirated, non-catalyst exhaust system
0 = Restraint Type other than USA prior to 1987
X = Checksum Digit
F = Year 1985
C = Factory Location Crewe
H = Steering Location Home market, Right hand drive
10150 = Chassis Serial Number



It was previously thought this the car below was SCBYJ000XFCH10150, but it is not.



The Bentley Camargue with 1200TU factory number plates is now thought to be an experimental car. I wonder where it is today.

If anyone has any further pictures of the only Bentley Camargue please send then in.
