Blower Bentley FOR SALE
« on: July 11, 2014, 05:54:29 pm »
Just found this – being auctioned over the road from us in Blenheim Palace tomorrow:

Un-raced Bentley blower.

http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/car-advert/bentley/4-1-2-litre/1930/267015/?utm_campaign=010714&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ccfs-auction&utm_content=car6

If anyone is interested, I would be happy to go and bid for you!?

Baldrick, my Lord! But I can change it to Ploppy if it'll make things easier.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

This post prompted me to look at the results catalogue from FOS. Some nice and some expensive stuff

Very fine car, but not sure if it is indeed a 'blower'. The sales literature is shocking and not clear. when built it was not a blower, but it may have been added.

For a car of this value I would expect it to have at least to have been spell checked.

intended to take the extra talk and performance of the Blower engines :-\

For that reason, I shall not be bidding.

A very valid reason Nordic!  ;D ;D ;D

I completely agree. An icon of British motoring represented in print by people who can't use the English language correctly.
I tested negative for patience.
