I'll go for Bentley too, but no idea which one, then again it's probably a Vauxhall Viscount with a dodgy body kit


ETA OK think the front one is a Bentley Eight?

"Aiming at prospective purchasers of younger age there was the idea to offer a variant of the Bentley Mulsanne conceived as a beginner's model. The outcome of this consideration to encourage younger owners to experience the Bentley marque was the Bentley Eight. A considerable price reduction was explained by the luxurious equipment having been slightly cut-back. Notwithstanding the Bentley Eight, distinguished in outward appearance by a radiator grille with wire-mesh instead of slats, hardly missed any goodie to be desired. tightened up front suspension providing sportier handling could even be considered as an advantage. The model became so popular that - initially only available in the UK market it became supplied to Europe and the United States too."

My thoughts too, but with my dodgy neck I can't quite get sideways to look properly...
