An Old, Posh, car

Pedalling back from my shopping trip to Uxbridge, yesterday, I spotted this rather attractive car. I know very little about cars, but could recognise this as a Bentley, I guess from the 30s. Since there was a white ribbon still attached, it must have been to a wedding. I wondered about the mascot as I though it was a winged B for Bentley. Turns out I know a little about Bentleys! A winged B is indeed the usual mascot so the sprite, similar to Rolls Royce, must have been added by its owner.

@Ronrybs I would say so, and outrageously expensive.

Those all cars were so beautiful and you could make the difference one from another. In our days they all look the same.

I have been told it is not a Bentley, but a kit car! Guess nothing is original these days

@Ronrybs You are right, we have so many fake around in our days. Well, it looks pretty even it it's a fake.

Someone has gone to a lot of work to keep that car in such fine shape.

@Ronrybs I ran an image search, and it does appear the vehicle is a Beauford Kit Car. The particular model you saw is the Beauford Wedding Car.

@DWDavis Well spotted! I was convinced it wasn't a vintage Bentley, but I didn't know what it really was. Thanks!

It is good looking, but someone mentioned it may be a kit car and not a real Bentley at all. that would explain its excellent condition

The 'real' car buffs probably wouldn't approve of the change of mascot. What a great car to have at your wedding.

It is good looking, but I dread to think about the insurance costs!

What a classy car. Bentley’s have always been a favorite classic car. I just realized this is not a Bentley, but still very classy indeed.

It is very nice. I gather it is a kit car, so not as expensive as a real Bentley

From the other comments, this is a kit car and not a Bentley and is available to hire
