Michael Chapman's 1925 Bentley |

Teacher’s
car amused Bentley 'boys'
"I purchased my first car in
1958 from D Marguiles Ltd in London
for the sum of £385. It was
a 1925 Bentley, VDP body, short chassis
and a three-litre engine with 'A'
gearbox. It also had a hood and side
screens. At this time I was teaching
in Essex and the students were much
amused at 'Sir' arriving in his 'old
car'.
I wonder where it is now? I have thought
of trying to find out through the
Bentley Owners’ Club.
I kept the Bentley for five or six
years but after getting married it
was impractical, so unfortunately
I had to sell it. It was expensive
to run and I remember, when I was
teaching, pulling into a garage and,
not having much money on me, saying
to the guy "Half a gallon"
and he said "Where are you going?
Scotland?" — Michael
Chapman, South Creake, near Fakenham |
