Here are a couple of snaps of two older Bentleys I have. One is a green Models of Yesteryear 1:55 LeMans from 1929 that I still have and the other is a red 1927 Bentley from Corgi. Both are nicely done and display very well.

Thanks, Karl ! The next Bentley I have is a Continental coupe from about 2015 or so. That's about a 88 year gap or so between cars, lol !

@michaeldetorrice 

Michael, my apologies, I tried to add to your post but my computer would not show the pictures so I have made it under the heading, World of Wooster. I would have preferred to post, instead of creating a fresh posting.

Corgi Classics, World of Wooster Bentley.

Michel DeTorrace's Bentley posting reminded me about the several Bentley models in my collection.

For some reason, my images could not be added to his initial post.

The World of Wooster is a comedy television series, based on the Jeeves stories by author P.G. Wodehouse. The television series starred Ian Carmichael as English gentleman Bertie Wooster and Dennis Price as Bertie's valet Jeeves.

The series aired on BBC Television from 1965 until 1967, about the time this Corgi Bentley was made..

Like many other British television series of the time, much of the series was lost to "house cleaning".

Corgi produced 4 different Bentleys in this 9000 Corgi Classics series. I have them all and could show them here if there is interest, likely in added post due to me computer issue with adding pictures to existing posts..
