Cruising Water and Land

[JamesG161]

This is the weekend we finally finished our 1961 Bentley and will participate.

As a reminder of our find.

We bought it for $5k , fixed up the the brakes, exhaust, clutch etc.... $6K

This Classic Bentley values more than our sailboat, even after restored and back in the water.

Guess what?

The Admiral does not like the 2 tone, Army Green Color.

Oh well, you cant take it with you. $$$$

This annual event is all week.

But note the Grey Poupon and the Back seat does have a fold down bar and table to eat.
