Vintage Bentley judging by the instruments. Which one though?

As above - a Bentley (RH gear lever is a clue).
Probably a 1930's touring model (cut-away suicide doors and fold down screen).
Could be Vanden Plas body or have been re-bodied over the years.

Something like this:

Post-vintage 1930s Derby Bentley of some sort. I've seen that dash used in Park Ward bodied cars.

Definitely vintage Bentley.
Here's something with similar dials, but not the same finish.

Built primarily for a 1-make race series in the early 90s, based around the XJR-9 mechanicals. I saw them at Silverstone - epic.
