87 year old Bentley driven over 1.5 million kilometers, and cross country for fun, still a pleasure to it's owner, 49 yr old, carpenter Robin Hine


I discovered this story on the Vintage Racing League newsletter that I get in email on a weekly basis, http://multibriefs.com/briefs/VRL/VRL123111.php but the full story was removed from the source they cite, the Vancouver newspaper, so I looked around the internet, and found a Facebook page for Robin's 6000 mile trek across Canada in his Bentley, http://www.facebook.com/pages/RM-X-Canada/229863477043872#!/pages/RM-X-Canada/229863477043872  photos are from a subscription only newspaper the Globe and Mail http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/tom-hawthorn/robin-hine-travels-across-canada-in-vintage-bentley/article2118997/

Ron Pratte collection update, his collection is shown in a video that was used to show his sale of these four cars at Barrett Jackson auction this weekend

The current record is $1,127,500 paid for Tucker #1045 about 18 months ago. This Tucker is in much better condition.
