1949 James Youngh Bentley  bangered

The Dutchman Pieter Leistra bangers an exclusive 1949 James Youngh Bentley to heaven at the Essex Arena in UK 2007.

The jury mentioned it the “crash of the day” and “the crazy Dutchman” got a trophy for it. Simon Rolph, the driver of the car which was hit hard on the back was not harmed and angry at all. He even gave the crazy Dutchman a compliment and said: “Nice work, bloke”.

 

The bangered Bentley of 1949 was a design of James Youngh. Only five were made of this model. One of the five left is in a Bentley museum and is insured for 1.300.000 Euros. Now an other one of the remaining cars was smashed in a demolition derby at the Essex arena in 2007. Also the car which was serious hit on the back by Pieter Leistra’s Bentley was a nice Alvis TA 21 Graylady of the late 40’s or 50’s, driven by Simon Rolph.

 

If you enter “Bentley Essex” on youtube.com. You will find movies of the banger crash.

 

Even today many British classics come to their end in this demolition derby’s in UK. Many Jaguars, Daimlers, Rolls Royce’s, Benley’s etc. have find their final rest. Also classic British hearses and ambulances are popular because of their massive weight.

 

After I found out about the bagered 1949 James Youngh Bentley. I searched on the Internet for other UK classics which were bangered away. In this paragraph you will find what I found. It might not make the real classic enthusiats happy.

 

 

These exclusive cars have been bangered to wrecks.

About me

My name is Hermann Egges. I am collecting car brochures and advertisements since I was a little child.

First I collected articles and adverts of cars out of news papers and magazines. After that I went to local car dealers to get the brochures of the cars, showed in their show rooms. I was a happy child if I left the dealer with one or more brochures in my hand. These were the first brochures collected, which are still today in my private collection. This means that the collection of brochures starts in the late seventies up till now.

I try to search for people who have the same interest for car advertisemnets and brochures as I do. I would like to share experiences and information and hope to get in contact to interchange brochures with each other. In this way I try to enlarge the private collection of my and the collection of people I get in contact with.

All brochures shown on my web-page are out of my own collection. I have made photographs of them and made collages as shown on the web-page. More than 2.500 advertisements and more than 1.000 brochures are shown at my web page.

I hope you will enjoy my web-page.

Kind Regards

Hermann Egges
