1950s
 

"My father owned this Bentley in the 1950s. It was our family car and her name was Buttercup. He took it completely apart and rebuilt it (I have photos of this). He also won Hill Climbing competitions (I also have photos of this). I have so many happy childhood memories of this car and it was wonderful to find it on your web site. My fathers name was Philip Box. It is wonderful to see her in such good condition."
