Both are by Minichamps. Firstly the 1954 Continental R - Dinky made a version some 15 years ago.

Second - the Continental S1 Flying Spur from 1955 - interestingly, the registration (licence) plate, indicates a car from 1970/71!

I have - it looks very impressive. Under VW ownership, Bentley seems to be going from strength to strength.

Thanks Ray - I would like to see some Rolls-Royces, from this era, made as well.

These are very nice. You can still see the heritage in the new Continental GT. :cool:

Bentley is moving in the right direction, it was neat to see the Speed 8 race at Sebring in 2003, even with an Audi 4.0L V-8.

Do you know, the ride height on the Dinky, seems better than on the Minichamps, which looks to sit a tough high.
