It's a photograph with two cars Amanda....

Dunno but the windscreen/scuttle looks like a W123 Merc - could be Chinese copy - whatever they are they are completely tasteless IMHO.

But since you are the female of the species, then I expect you are trying to trick me in some way - not that I'm suspicious mind you.

Loved your 16v quattro BTW - I will admit to having lusted after one of those back in "J" or "K" registration days, if my memory serves me correctly.

They are both early 1985-1987 Bentley Turbo R's as they do not have the twin round headlights.

However the front one has a Mulliner edition grill, which is aftermarket, as it was not available till 1994.

The one in the rear bonnet badge looks too high for the Bentley B.

Correct but that piccie was taken in 1987 as far as I am aware and I am fairly certain the date is correct

Good spot Paul, looks like the Rear one could be a late 80's Silver Spur.

Yeah that would account for the complete and utter lack of taste?

If the picture was 1987 and that is a show then the front one may be a Bentley 8.

So Amanda - when is the closing date for entries & what is the prize?

I might be prepared to try a bit harder if I knew what the prize was?

Gotta be a poor Chinese copy of something - not a pretty sight.
