Thanks Pete,
in fact, I am no great lover of “Our Gracie”, but the story about the car was appealing, until I checked it out.
The Bentley, a 1947 Mark VI with a unique two door fixed head coupé body by Freestone and Webb and fitted with a cocktail cabinet and the wind up gramophone was actually owned by a Lancashire textile magnate and the use by Gracie has not been proved. What is worse is that it’s not even a particularly pretty design.

Heigh-ho.
