0 chris24 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Can't tell you much Andy but it has a 4.5 litre petrol engine. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Harry Harrison Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Certainly looks like all the other Mk VI 1952 Bentleys on Google Images, apart from the coachbuilt ones. A couple of pictures of that very car but no detail. It appears on the site of a wedding photographer in Flintshire but each time I've tried to go to it Chrome as crashed through loads of Windows opening, and on a Mac as well. Not had that before. Actually I can't see how Google finds the picture of it on Flickr at Malin Head, or the fishing lodge in Careysville, or rather I can only presume that it can 'read' the registration number from the photo, can it really do that?

I got the year from DVLA website. If you put in the Reg you get a limited amount of info. Year of manufacture and colour that's all. Thanks for the effort.

I imagine not- the images are just similar enough, and unusual enough. I notice surprising matches sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wiskerke Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) MkVI or Mk6 or Mark VI or Mark 6 not MkV1 (but include the V1 for clients making the same mistake) Saloon or Standard Steel Saloon Big Bore (4566 cc - from the DVLA - vs 4,257cc) 4,566 cc 4.5 litre or 4.5 L or 4.5l or 4 1/2 etc etc. 278 cu in The Malin Head image from the rear shows it's not an R type. Don't forget to check AoA for Bentley. 1954 Bentley R Type B73YA (1954 chassis). This 4-door 4-light saloon was delivered in September 1954 to la Société Franpar of Paris (France Soir newspaper) and registered 7742-CZ-75. It was registered OMB710 on its return to the UK. In 2004 it was owned in Switzerland by RREC member Dr. Heinz Wehrli. http://www.kda132.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NZRRB11-5-1.pdf Why did I look into this? Because of the wedding photographer image. I do think Google uses OCR for Google images. After using Google Translate with live view for a while, I would be amazed if they didn't. Great wedding pix btw. wim Edited June 14, 2019 by wiskerke 1 more link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting you do this but when I go to that Wedding photographer site again using your link this time I still get all these windows opening as soon as I scroll down. Never seen it before anywhere else but happens every time (just the 3 times today) that I go there. Strange, not going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Harry Harrison Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks for checking, I'll just wait and see if it happens again on any other site, I didn't think Macs were susceptible to this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
