BENTLEY CAMARGUE 1976. THIS IS ONE OF 5 SUCH CARS IN THE WORLD AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY NORTH AMERICAN LEFT HAND DRIVE BENTLEY CONVERSION CAMARGUE TO EXIST. A NO RESERVE AUCTION, THE HIGHEST BIDDER WINS. AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY !!THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING CAR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION, TAKE TO SHOWS, OR DRIVE DAILY AND TRULY STAND OUT AT THE CLUB OR GOLF COURSE.

THANK YOU On Oct-06-10 at 16:11:32 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had several emails asking to see the front seats minus the sheepskins. The front seats are not bad just a little well used, and I wanted to post a picture but Ebay will not allow me to add or delete and add a picture at this stage of the auction. If you wish to see them, please email me and include your email address and I will include a picture of the front seats minus the sheepskins. Thank you
