Haha! I can’t quite let go but need to really as its just not getting used and we still need that kitchen. Just had the driveway done and funds are dropping because I refuse to dip into my main savings for housey stuff, they are for getting rid of the noose as soon as possible…

If I saw the right car I would buy it, sadly deep purple s1 111’s are like hens teeth.

970cc are the rarest iirc. Special run made for the under 1l regs at the time. Monster rev’er. :thumbup:

True but the 1071 is the sweetest :slight_smile: that restored in sky blue or almond green would be good for me …

That Bentley has something about it though … Imagine that updated with some modern mechanicals as a GT tourer

Wonderful thread. Amazed that cars like this can still be found.
Wish I could find a few… There must be,some in barns up here in deepest Lancashire
