It was fun! I would prefer the proper grille. I also think the Bentley "B" emblem looks nicer than the spirit of extasy. I was also surpirsed at how good condition it still is. And its actually a pretty humid island, (Tropical) I had an uncle who wanted to buy it but the seller wouldn't budge. Yeah it is sad that this is its fate. If it were a coupe or a drophead it would be worth A LOT more. Back in the day it must have been a fortune but unfortuneately its expensive to find parts and to restore such an old car is hard. I guess sentimental value would help it? You think its rarity and its name along with a post war car would help its value right? but no
It really is, I love the suicide front doors and regular hinged rears. I agree with your restoration ideas and i was shocked when i opened the door and the interior was in excellent condition and smelled nice too. leather still in GREAT shape.
not a Ferrari or Bugatti but its still a Bentley that was made at the time being owned by Rolls Royce but you're right is astonishes me too.
and now this thread takes off on tangents! haha

There shouldn't actually need to be that many parts replaced.
They where built like tanks and so long as you don't do anything stupid (like try to start it in there) a full strip, clean and rebuild should have it back to perfect running condition.
Keep showing an interest in it, and he may sell it to you. Then trailer it out of there, and get the parts needed (Bentley grill, and csl's list) and go to work...
