Who here knows what this one is?
I found a list of his collection on Wikipedia and from that my guess is "1915 shovel-nosed Franklin (California-built body by Harley Earl)" but I was hoping that someone here could confirm.

I think this is actually "Old Mother Gun" a Bentley Special, raced in European historics for years by owner/trader Stanley Mann. Unless it is a copy...
Edit, it is not OMG, but probably another Bentley Special, see also the Union Jack behind the seat

It looks like a 1930s Bentley engined special. The single seater layout is definitely post-1932 and there seems to be a Bentley logo on the nose.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

In GT4 it's listed as the 'Jay Leno Tank Car' - I think it's a custom built thing with an aircraft engine.
EDIT: No, wrong car.

Any further info on this Bentley (By the way this car remebers me of Naiper Raitlon and hig speed racers of the 30's... nothing new bearing in mind previous posts).

That Tank Car thing is about as Wacky-Racer as it gets. I read that he has drum brakes from an 18-wheeler on the thing... and was thinking about turbocharging it.
