AL80 - 1922 TT Bentley reconstruction

I don't think we've had one like this before so there's a point for telling us the make, approximate date and model (or other suitable description!)

Hopefully I have the correct year, make and model. It must then be the 1922 3 litre TT Bentley.

I think that will do for the point, Craig.
To be strictly accurate it is a modern reconstruction of chassis 82 in "as close a style and detail to the TT cars as possible" to quote the owner.
He told me it has a surprising number of genuine parts which characterised the TT and Indianapolis cars.

Here's my original photo and one that is supposed to be of the Indanapolis car:
