Alaska Highway Sighting

[Pete S.]

So, a close friend of mine is taking on a journey from Central Florida to the Arctic Circle in Alaska - via a VW Bus. He spotted this on the Alaskan Highway, the lead car of several like cars.

Can any of you sharp eyed members identify it?

It’s a 1924/25 Bentley “Speed Model”… chassis # 940, with a 3-liter motor and body by Vanden Plas, to be exact. It was discovered languishing in the basement of a motorcar dealer after WWII, and now lives in Australia.

Nice work. Having the registration tag visible must have been the key to that find.

Next question, what in the heck is it doing on the Alaska Highway?

And then another question: what were the "like cars" with it?

Yep, plus I knew it was a 1920’s Bentley. So searching for the reg # and “Bentley” quickly nailed it.

I don't have that information.
