Bentley Racing at Oulton Park 1969 Part 2

Description

Oulton Park 1969 Part 2 The Richard Seaman memorial trophy for vintage sports cars. Lovely old home movie made by John Dawson. The competitor in the bare aluminium Bentley would have stayed with Mr and Mrs Dawson for the race weekend as he towed it from near Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. Primitive trailer and not much in the way of lights. Not a major problem in 1969. The Bentley is a 3-litre though the engine may be 4.5 litres by this date. He had owned the car for about 10 years and modified it extensively. It now (40 years on and with the same owner) looks more or less like an original Vanden Plas 3-litre. It was a bit of a hot rod in 1969 running on 16" wheels with radial tyres etc.
