A trip down the A14 for us as we look to get the Master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder refurbished by the guys at Past Parts. Past Parts specialise in the supply and re-manufacture of braking and clutch parts for a…
We took a trip down Faversham with the Bentley in tow so whilst the sun’s out we thought it’s only right to take her out for a little photo opportunity.
Our Bentley Special is currently in our workshops have a clean over due to the recent works. As we haven’t many pictures of her inside our workshops now was the perfect opportunity to take a few.
With the existing Bentley steering wheel being just that little bit too big to comfortably fit your legs in we decided to re-manufacture a 15″ steering wheel. Trickier than it sounds when we are having to use the original bezel….
Last week we attended the Annual Christmas Classic Auction held at Sandown by Barons Classic Car Auctioneers. Also in attendance were the production crew from Channel 4’s new documentary Inside Bentley: A Great British Motor Car. We were thrilled to hear…

We found a wire under the engine bay that hung lower than the rest so we tidied it up but fitting a rubber covering to hold it in place.
The original Smiths dial was in need of refurbishing so we called in the assistance of Speedograph Of Richfield to help us out with this one. As all of the other dials inside were Bentley dials we hoped that Speedograph Of…
The new plaques have arrived ready to be fitted to our 1949 Bentley Mk VI Special.

Thanks to Tony and the guys at Wyatt Polishing for doing an amazing job on the aluminium components of our 1949 Bentley Special. The bonnet, fuel tank, side steps and various smaller items have been polished up beautifully and are now…
With less than a week to go until Barons Annual Christmas Classic auction at Sandown Park, Dave and Pete are busy working on 1949 Bentley Special. The aluminium bonnet has been removed for polishing which has given them full access…
One of the most appealing characteristics about our 1949 Bentley Special is the originality of her. It would be a huge shame to get carried with this project and create a car that is destined for a showroom. The car…
As part of the project to improve the overall look of our 1949 Bentley Special we decided to re-colour the wire wheels in a deep red finish. A lot of the racing cars from the era used this colour wheel…
Whilst the aluminium parts are off the vehicle being polished it was a good opportunity for us to improve a couple of small areas that require paint. The steel straps that hold in the fuel tank have been hand painted…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This afternoon we removed the large items of aluminium from the car ready to transform them with a good polish. We’ve drafted in the help of our good friend Tony and the guys at Wyatt Polishing to complete this task….
Work is now underway on our 1949 Bentley Special Mark VI. Our work is very minimal on this project. Mechanically she is fantastic but we felt that a few small alterations to the look would make a huge difference. The…
It was a long day for Craig and Dave as they set off for what should’ve been a relatively easy trip to Brighton. We had our 1973 Jaguar E-Type to deliver and returning with our 1949 Bentley Mark VI Special…
