Bentley Mk VI from 1952, bodied by James Young ; interestingly, the body was made in James Young workshops but designed by Pierre Brandone - son of the french coachbuilder.

Spot-on (although I had it as a 1951 Bentley..)!

I'm afraid I don't and I can't find one on the Internet.
I'll keep looking.

I think this is it.
It was based on a 1952 Bentley Mk VI but I believe it was rebodied in 1962 by James Young for Jack Barclay, London Rolls-Royce and Bentley main dealer.
