I seem to recall this chap is a PHer (possibly on this thread, too) wavey and it was delightful to see on the road, dog's head out of the window and seeing the lovely headrests through the rear windscreen. Driven in a sprightly manner too.

Lovely. What are the wheels?

Seen outside a clam chowder restaurant in San Fran today. Just sat there minding its own business.

Dark blue was never a factory colour. I wonder if that's one of those 800bhp Canepa restorations?

I did wonder as I ve not seen one in blue (not seen many to be fair). Very unassuming. Lovely condition.

Get. Out! That Bentley is perfect visually. A b&s plate would ruin it, no question.
It s the font that s wrong not the colour
Also needs to be a metal plate with raised plastic didgets, not a modern plastic thing.
I'm annoyed I didn't get a picture of the Rolls Royce I saw today. It was leaving the estate I live on, similar colour to the Bentley T2, but a Corniche (I think) convertible, hood up, wearing the registration plate... '10 MPG'
No pictures, as it was on the move, turning right out of a road as I was turning left into it on my jog home from parkrun.

They are the silver round things with the black tyres on, but that's not important right now...

Does that have a concave number plate?

I spotted that Corniche in August top down on the A31 near Ringwood, but as I was overtaking it a photo wasn't an option for me either!

Good to see it is getting used, despite the thirst. laugh

A31 would make sense. Today's spot had it heading out of the Chaseside estate onto Castle Lane East in Bournemouth. That's only 10 minutes away from Ringwood up the A338. I couldn't see the driver, but the lady in the passenger seat had a great big black dog on her lap.

On the subject of mental breakdown, the pedestrian on the other side of the road seems to have found it too much of a challenge to put his coat on properly.

Thanks for catching me and Jack!
