You could easily create your own Bentley lookalike. There are lots of options if you use a commercial vehicle rolling chassis. Probably not many old Sherpa's about which had the leaf spring front axle but still lots of other potential donors. You don't need much in the way of pre moulded parts, at least half the car is flat panels. The main body tub could be made from plywood and clad with leather.

At a mere 71 I'm somewhat humbled by the above posts from my seniors. I shall try to man up.

It's more than a madness, it's a sickness!
Been playing with car builds since the early 1960's.
Can't stop! |

Molleur, Why would you want to stop? You'd have nothing to live for, doing stupid(?) things is what makes life worthwhile. Growing old is inevitable growing up is optional.

Ditto Mick. My Dad brought in a Morgan 4-4 in crates around 1953 and I
assisted with the assembly. He also raced the second Healey 100 ever brought
into the USA. |

I blame Blue Peter with John, Pete and Val ! Working with card board and sticky back plastic still comes in useful on a kit car build !

.....and again.
This appeared on my Moss Owners' FB feed this morning. Our near continental neighbours seem to have most of them!
