87 year old Bentley driven over 1.5 million kilometers, and cross country for fun, still a pleasure to it's owner, 49 yr old, carpenter Robin Hine
I discovered this story on the Vintage Racing League newsletter that I get in email on a weekly basis, http://multibriefs.com/briefs/VRL/VRL123111.php but the full story was removed from the source they cite, the Vancouver newspaper, so I looked around the internet, and found a Facebook page for Robin's 6000 mile trek across Canada in his Bentley, http://www.facebook.com/pages/RM-X-Canada/229863477043872#!/pages/RM-X-Canada/229863477043872 photos are from a subscription only newspaper the Globe and Mail http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/tom-hawthorn/robin-hine-travels-across-canada-in-vintage-bentley/article2118997/

Ron Pratte collection update, his collection is shown in a video that was used to show his sale of these four cars at Barrett Jackson auction this weekend
The current record is $1,127,500 paid for Tucker #1045 about 18 months ago. This Tucker is in much better condition.

the video that shows Ron Prattes collection doesn't have an embed ability, so you'll have to go to Speed TV.com to see it: http://www.speedtv.com/video/barrett-jackson/scottsdale/bj-ron-pratte-collection-1395246246001/1#_vtop but here are some screen grabs from it
