1949
 

"This vehicle, identified by the registration number, appears a number of times in the film "A Boy a Girl and a Bike" The film, by Gainsborough Studios, made in 1949, stars Honor Blackman, Diana Dors, and a young Anthony Newley, as well as several supporting actors and actresses of the period. The hero, is played by John McCallum, and it is he who gets to drive the Bentley in the film. In the opening sequence there are some good frontal and three-quarter shots, interestingly it is shown with two spare wheels, one in each front wing. In the first view there is windscreen on any type, but later, when Honor Blackman is the passenger, it sports two racing screens."
