I first saw one on the Icefields Parkway. And then another, and another.

At Athabasca Falls I got a close look at some which were parked there.

It was then that I learned that the Bentley owners do a long road trip every year, and this year some 36 were touring Canada and Alaska. They came from several European countries, Australia, Britain, etc. All of them were pre 1940, some as old as the 20s. All lovingly restored.

Lovingly restored that is, in the visual, but all had been modified to accommodate modern day fuel and keep up with modern day traffic. Even when travelling at 100kph I had some overtake me.

They all negotiated some of the atrocious roads which I encountered, including the Top of the World Hwy on that wet and foggy day. Many convertibles never put the top up.... I was told it is uncool! Hail rain and shine they drove with the open car. And my word, it did rain, almost every day.

The Bentleys were in every place where I stopped to overnight, until Tok, from where they headed straight for Anchorage.
