Contributed by Stephen Frost (Owner)
"My name is Stephen Frost. I have come into the ownership of my father's 1929 Speed Six Bentley following his passing in February 2017.
Pictures with Margaret Bentley in 1983 at our village fete in Shamley Green.
"Here are some pictures of my mother, father and I with Margaret Bentley at a fete in Shamley Green where we all lived in 1983. Also, there is a good picture of AC 260's engine.
I would visit Margret and her friend Mrs Sargent for tea at her house in the village. Her small bungalow was obviously littered with WO memorabilia, especially the lavatory. It was once remarked upon by Margaret that when I visited that room I always seemed to take a very long time, to which I replied but there was so much WO stuff to look at and read in there! When Margaret passed away she kindly left me two of WO's Louis Vuitton leather suitcases marked with W.O.B. complete with travel stickers. They are some of my most precious things.

AC 260 in 1990s
This was the first time I drove AC 260 to appear at Sir Stanley Sedgwick's Memorial, Guildford Cathedral in 1996 to represent my father Ronnie Frost. I joined Victor Gauntlett driving a 41/2 next to me.
My father drove my sister Jane to her wedding at Bramley Church, Surrey in 1998
Two photos of AC 260 when Victor owned the car (I believe the colour photo was a parade lap at Le Mans)
