Beginning about '85, or so, we were fortunate to be able to have one Bentley or another.

Even if they were still available at the prices then in effect, their current styling turns me off completely.

The only way I do, or would, invest now, is in 1/43rd scale models for my collection, which is pretty much up to date from W. O.'s first models to the more recent.

I only wish I could get a good 1/43rd scale model of a 603, to add to what representations I have of other cars I've owned. I even have the paint to put it in its current iteration.
