September 2018

	My name is Martin Gaensler and I am the owner of Chassis LB2333 and XR3346. I bought the cars in the UK at Neil Davies (N.D.R.) some years ago. Since a couple of years I’ve have been a member of the Benjafields Racing Club. As you might be aware, the club is planning a tour in the US in connection to the 100 years anniversary of the Bentley mark in August 2019. While I plan to do this tour in the Speed Six, I may connect the tour with the Colorado Grand Rally at the beginning of September.
