I took a short cut on AQ and bought just the one featuring Lamborghini. The Masterpiece 'Designer' books are on my 'to buy' list. I have recently cleared a shelf of Railway and other miscellaneous books and taken them to a couple of charity shops in our town. I haven’t opened my new Bertone and Vignale books yet, but judging by their thickness alone, they look promising!

I scored big yesterday when I won all these from the same eBay seller at an unbelievably low price! I’ve been after two of these Bentley books (the ones by Hay) for quite a while, but they often were far too expensive! And, I didn’t know anything about this book, until I spotted it at the seller’s store. It looks quite promising! The sad part is that they’re going to my cousin’s place in Austin and I will have to wait a while before they get home!

My late uncle and cousin had the surname Benjafield, I have often wondered if they were related to the famous Bentley racer. It's a fairly unusual name so there may have been some sort of connection but I guess that I will never know for sure. Nice books too especially at a bargain price.

Maybe one of those free ancestry sites could help you trace family. That book on experimental RR and Bentley sure looks interesting!

That's a great story and hunch Paul. As Jerry said, the ancestry sites can sometimes tell a story or fill in the blanks. I've found that obituaries are often the very best single source for piecing a mystery together. Just a thought...

I have just done a quick search of the Benjafield book that I won and it seems to be quite rare and not cheap at all!
