We did Classics at school. We learned about natural proportions of ancient buildings and architecture. Beauty in the human form.

A pound says this chap didn’t.

That Bentley cut and shut is truly, truly awful. Not even a proper panel beaten panelling, just flat sheet cut with tinsnips and pop rivetted together.

He couldn't even be bothered to find matching wheel discs - the ones on the car are standard R type, the one on the spare wheel pre 1950 Bentley Mk VI.

I couldn't help myself thinking what a pity it was that Bentley had been wasted to make such a poorly executed project motorcar.

Yes, I couldn't agree more.

This is how it is done when properly executed. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1183647
