Bentley – This lovely Bentley has undergone a great deal of preparation work to bring it back to health. Recommissioning the bodywork has taken many months to reach the current stage. This included numerous repairs to the metal body and many imperfections have been sorted out. It was a great day in the workshop to seen this car fully painted and ready for the next step in it’s journey towards going back out on the road.
Check out the curves!
A great deal of effort went in to making sure all the panels fitted back on the car, this time with accurate panel gaps and shut lines all round.

Curve appeal (otherwise known as curb appeal).
It’s interesting to see how cars of this era were made and put together. Clearly weight reduction was not a priority at a hefty 2.5 tonnes and 130 horse power.
Large heavy parts requiring a great deal of attention to get right.
Despite the high overall weight, it is surprising how much movement there is on a car of this size. Panel gaps on this car will however, be better than ever, but it took a great deal of time and effort to make sure everything lined up correctly.
