1923 Bentley Three-Litre Tourist Trophy tourer
Goodwood Estate, Chichester, West Sussex

"3 litre Bentley CR 8172 is currently owned by a Mr Jeremy Thompson. When I was 6/7 I used to play around in this same car. Let off the handbrake once, much to the annoyance of the then owner Ted Young. He was the organiser for the spares scheme at the time.

My point is I have some photos of this car from around the seventies and would like to pass them on to the current owner. Also, as I am now 50 years old would like to be considered for purchasing this car when, or more likely If it ever comes up for sale.

Be grateful if you could pass this message on to owner"
