She actually sold for 14Gs! (Canadian $) Wow!
I had to run before it all unfolded as I had a date with a slightly newer Bentley.
Anyway, back to the auction....
Lots Of interest.
LF.
Just who was 'LF' ?
Rock Star Larry Femelin, maybe...?
And an interesting car. Obviously very nice before she was laid up for 15 years. Decent paint, nice wood, 'then new' 15 year old tyres, & really good (possibly re-done) leather. Nice In-Car phone too.
But I loved the fact that she was up for grabs looking dirty.
A car wash surprise for the buyer?
In my opinion she will polish up well - even the pitted chrome - not perfectly, but...
I will do it for free for the buyer, if they are local. Honest.
To the buyer, if you are in the Toronto area (reasonably, a hundred Ks here or there...), contact me via Bentleyspotting.
You don't buy these cars as investments. You buy them because you love them.
Mistresses.
A way to spend money and have enjoyment/pleasure without getting in trouble- as long as your wife doesn't know.
There were three other nice Crewe cars at the auction too:
A 2000 Bentley Continental R:
A splendid Bentley Arnage R:
And a really nice 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur (in Wedding White):
But this T has a story to tell...

As good as the offer made by David Irvine to completely detail the T Bentley ..the new owner wants to take it home to share with his next door neighbour an avid British Car Buff.
ReplyDeleteI made them promise that they would have the car ready and make an appearance at Bronte British Car Day 2014...Larry Lemelin RROC member since 1985
