The manufacturer and type of vehicle are required, as well as the coachbuilder and the year of manufacture.

Yes, it's a Bentley Continental. But not by Mulliner and not from 1951. I would appreciate a more precise type designation ;-)

Looks like Park Ward, possibly 1954.
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

Looks like Park Ward, smells like Park Ward and tastes like Park Ward: it's Park Ward! And the year of manufacture is also correct, the only thing missing is the exact Bentley type designation, i.e. the model series.
Locked for Lavrakas.
