"My father (Frank
Grounds) owned this car in the 1960s
when it was a 4½ litre."

"My sister Lolita was married in this Bentley. The car has a Sinclair body and in the 1960s had a 4.5 litre engine. I
believe the car is now back to 3 litre. My dad sold the car c1968. I
believe the car spent the past few years in Sweden and was recently sold
by NDR Racing. I've no idea where it went to." |

"Hi, have just
searched for information on 1924 Bentley
XU 5573 and found it on your website.
My grandfather owned this car and,
when he died in 1948, my grandmother
sold it to my father's great uncle.
We have been looking at a photo of
him and his wife sitting in the car
in the very early 1950s.
My father, who is 94 today, recalls
bringing the car back from Hayling
Island to Hertfordshire when his father
died. He remembers having to stop
on the side of the road as it got
dark because he could not find out
how to turn the headlights on. He
believes he had to turn the rim of
the speedo or one of the dials.
He is delighted to learn that the
car is still about. I would love to
get hold of a photo of it present
day for him." |
