  • Thoughts from the Showroom
    JanuarySpring 2018 2017 NEWS Thoughts from the showroom... Illustrated here are some of the Welcome to Frank Dale & Stepsons cars we have sold since our last Spring newsletter newsletter The first three months of the year have been extremely busy so I thought it was time to take stock, take a breath and bring you up to date with everything that has been happening at Frank Dale & 1935 Bentley 3 ½ Litre Stepsons during this time. Open Tourer by Corsica 1936 Bentley 4 ¼ Litre Saloon by Hooper Emma and I have travelled extensively since the start of the year, visiting four continents and racking up a few thousand air miles between us. We may have been one of British Airways best customers so far in 2018 and we could probably recite the BA safety video with relative ease at the moment. As much as I enjoy travelling it’s great to be home again with my feet planted firmly back in the UK for the next few months. This coincides with the end of British winter time as well (fingers crossed). I’m sure, like us, if you live in Northern Europe you have seen enough snow, 1947 Bentley Mk VI Countryman ice and salty roads over the past few months to last a lifetime. I for by Harold Radford one, can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of some beautiful classic cars again. Summer can’t come soon enough. The sales department has seen a steady and solid start to 2018, with a number of deals agreed during the first three months of the year.

  • Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1)
    Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1) R-R Silver Dawn, Silver Wraith. BENTLEY MKVI, R type. N.W.Geeson ver 1. 2006 The Problems The writer declares quite openly an interest in Bentley and R-R post war axles up to R-R Shadow I, as it is a main line of business. It is not the purpose of this article to describe the procedures for overhauling R-R rear axles but to highlight some of the simpler problems, which cause these axles to fail. In addition a few axle related points of interest are discussed at the end. These axles are fairly robust and their reputation over the years has caused both owners and specialists alike to be reluctant to admit that most are in need of a major overhaul. It has become apparent in recent years that they are deluding themselves. The now common spate of rear wheel bearing and axle failures is ongoing and can be catastrophic both in cost terms and accident risk. Perhaps those who still believe they are operating a sound R-R rear axle ought to peruse the images in this article most closely. Unless otherwise stated it can generally be presumed that references to Bentley MKVI axles also encompass Bentley R type, R type Continental, R-R Silver Dawn and R-R SWB Silver Wraith axles. Bentley SI includes R-R Silver Cloud I and Bentley SI Continental, but the user must be aware that this axle was extensively modified during service. In a similar fashion references to Bentley S2 axles include Bentley S3, R-R Silver Cloud II & III.
