[TR] Crash Gear Box

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Indeed a great car to learn to drive on, and yes, after that, nearly  
everything seemed a bit dull. Most frustrating, however, is the fact that my dad  
sold the car in excellent condition in the early 1970's for 400 quid. I've 
just  seen a similar vehicle sell for 400,000. After selling the Bentley, he 
bought a  non-runner TR3A for 200 quid and it took us a year to get it 
roadworthy.  He sold it three years later for 300 quid, when we moved to the 
U.S.   Wouldn't it be nice if our cars were still worth 50-75% of the value of 
a 1920's  Bentley???

I guess  driving anything after a 1926 Bentley 3-Litre Boattail would be a  
nightmare.  Or at least a little bit  dull.
