Cruella De Ville Car - On A Hidden London Street

Well, not quite, but close enough.

The car in the picture above - spotted during one of my strolls in London these days - is not a Phantom De Ville, like the one in the famous Disney's production 101 Dalmatians. It's actually a 1960 Bentley, fully registered, with more than 90,000 miles on board. Fully functional, of course. And beautiful, obviously.

It was such a contrast between it and the rest of the cars on that street, yet such a familiar surrounding frame, I just couldn't resist.

Great catch!

Every time I see these classic beauties, I can't help but picture four dudes sitting inside, armed with Thompson submachine guns and ready to pull off a bank robbery.

old gem ....

Vintage cars are so classy and sometimes I feel to restore some of these and one day I might do that haha. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.

Capturing such piece old technology in motoring is quite a good price for a stroll. That’s beautiful

My neighbor used to have a similar car, but made by BMW. it was made of super heavy solid steel. I was so amazed at how heavy it was and I'm sure horrible gas mileage, but still looking great.

This car is a real classic. Am sure it was rocked by the rich and famous back then

This car is legendary, and yes i remember the car in 101 dalmatians lol

It does look good in it's surroundings @dragosroua. I like how it looks it's age and hasn't been tarted up! 😊

Hope you're having a fun trip!

So nostalgic.. I wonder if this car could be used as wedding car?

Very old car
But it is very beautiful😉😉
I long for the past so much that my memories come back forever😊😊😊

wow beautiful car i like this car thanks for shearing

What a nice car, it is quite elegant and its design very fine.

It made me want to see the 101 Dalmatians movie again.

A classic car.. crushed on this car.
Nice capture.. very good photoghraphy..! @dragosroua well done sir.

A picture of the beautiful time.

That car has more than one story to tell, I haven't been around one but I've always wondered if these cars are comfortable to drive, I think the technological comfort is much greater today! but it would be a good adventure, to get on one of them and go a few miles.... by the way I try this application (steem.supply) I think I'll take a walk right now, I hope the translator will help me, because I don't speak English

nice photography

Amazing car! You know, old is gold! It must have much strength than the current ones. No doubt the technology has excelled a lot but the old cars were amazing!

classic car wow

wow nice photography

reminds me of a beatles photo where they are leaning against a car just like this

It's a masterpiece. Such a lovely car.

The classical beast this is looking wonderful
