Spotted an advert for Vintage Racing in Classic and Sports Car magazine, a company who, in their own words, make 'faithful and detailed restoration and recreation' of Bentley specials.

Stunning cars they are too, I'll take a B-Special No1 please.

Have a look under the 'Our Cars' drop down for gallery and details http://www.vintageracing.eu/

Lovely smile

Are they chopping old Bentley saloons as a starting point?

This is the actual manufacturers; the first link was just the EU distributors.

They are registered as Bentleys as well as they are built on postwar Mk6 cars. Also available in aero engined versions.

fk it, since we're looking at a big lottery win anyway I'll have one of each.

And an extra Alpine.

Great how these things make the Morgan 3 wheeler seem affordablehehe

Not sure if it was one of these (not the Blue Train the Le Mans 8) offered at the recent Brooklands Classic auction (couple of months ago) but if it was, it was expected to make £300,000+ and a new commission would cost over £400,000

Beautiful though!
