A GROUP of Bentley enthusiasts brought their very special cars to Malvern last week.

About 16 members of the Derby Bentley Register stayed for a few nights at the Cottage In The Wood Hotel, on the slopes high above Malvern Wells.

"We are part of the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club, which is divided into registers for different types of car," said registrar Douglas Reece. "We all own Bentleys made at the factory in Derby between 1933 and 1939, when production stopped because of the war."

The car enthusiasts came from all over the UK - in Mr Reece's case, from near Truro, Cornwall - for mthe memeting in Malvern.

"It was very enjoyable," said Mr Reece, "The Cottage in the Wood treated us very well indeed, and we held a treasure hunt, went out for meals and visited the Morgan factory."
