By looking carefully at the top of the radiator, you can see the Bentley Wings which confirm a Bentley

These are unique cars. Where did you see these? In the museum? I saw one racing at Goodwood Revival which was special!

Hi Peter, this image was shot in 2012 at a very special Silver Arrows exhibition/reunion in the Louwman Museum Den Haag. I visited the museum especially for this exhibition and spent several hours looking for the right angles while patiently waiting to have an unobstructed view to shoot these beautiful cars. The whole series of 28 images (all in b&w) is on my Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/lucdeschepper/albums/72157632140971686

The image was shot in a run and gun moment on one of the busiest crossings in Tokyo and is thus a bit blurry, unlike those well framed and well processed ones by Luc.  But I guess it was worthwhile.  Would anyone identify it?
