Jack Triplett has
identified the car in above photograph
as Chassis no. FA2507. Jack says,
"With only 3 surviving Gurney
Nutting 6 1/2 litre saloons, out of
72 that Nutting originally made (my
count), this one is easy. Richard
Morrison's FA2507, a Weymann saloon.
The landau bars were probably not
on the car when it was new, but otherwise
it shows how Bentleys once looked,
before we lost so many to the urge
to make ugly 'boy racers'." —
