Since our post yesterday congratulating the Rolls-Royce 25/30 on her prize, we have today heard from the owner of the red Derby Bentley 3 1/2 litre that she, too, has been winning prizes. He emailed to say "Currently running very well and won a ‘concours d’elegance’ last month" - Congratulations!
The car will be back with us next month for an oil change before heading off on a 4,000 mile continental trip.

We have now finished fabricating a replacement top water plate and this can be seen in place on the photo. Once the oil feed tank and cooling pipes are all back in position and tightened up we can test the car before returning it to its owner.
