Bentley, Cricklewood, England.  This 1925 Bentley has the famous 3 litre 4 cylinder engine that started to make Bentley a success.  This is a short chassis speed model with a Taylor Sports model. The owner told me that this was the original registration number and that it had been a Pebble Beach Concours class winner. It certainly has immaculate bodywork, obviously restored but very nice and good to see it being driven around.  This has the red Bentley badge that identifies it as a Red label Speed Model 513 car.
