  Vintage Bentley reborn after being unearthed in London house 4 Sep 2015 (News)
  The Bentley, one of only eight built in this specification and the only known survivor, had been bought back in 1962 by Stuart Wallace who was on the lookout for something a little different. The Bentley had cost him less than half the price of a Mini, but one thing Stuart had not banked on was the cost of running the car – it’s 4½ engine made it expensive to run and as a student, the Bentley was laid up. Rather than simply being put into the garage, the Bentley was taken apart and the parts scattered throughout the house with every item being photographed and logged with some parts being stored in jars of oil.

The same report quoted AA spokesman Ian Crowder, who told The Telegraph, 'Classic car owners and users really need to be aware of the risks when they take to the road in a less resilient vehicle.
