Default Treasure Trove

I was in an industrial park today and saw two old Bentleys in museum quality. The one on the right is supercharged. Definately a rare find.

Nice! Was it a british racing green color? I think that guy brought one to Crystal Cove two weeks ago. I have a pic of it. Definitely RARE!

Don't I wish.

It was probably that one. They have been in many movies according to the mechanic. The normally aspirated one in SEVNT4s post makes between 105 and 120 hp. and is totally original as it came from the factory. It's worth 7 figures in dollars. The supercharged one was played with and is not back to stock completely. It still has Swiss magnetos and other aftermarket parts on it. Stock dual plug, dual magneto 4 cylinder engines. I think he said they were about 4.6 liters. The supercharged one is closer to 200 hp. The wheels are 21 inch.

I wouldn't want to drive it but for some strange reason I do admire it. The state of the art technology in 1930 fascinates me.
