"Belinda, as she is affectionately called, is a late 1921 3-litre short-chassis Red Label Bentley of the old school. She is still in grand running order despite our efforts to "tune" her to a higher pitch of efficiency. Also of interest are the engine number, which is 414, and the tyre sizes; in front they are high pressures, and at the rear 6.00 x 2in.

Belinda still does 75 m.p.h. and 16 miles per gallon - a faithful servant if ever there was one." James Kennedy
