Wrecked 1936 Bentley once owned by war hero who bombed Hitler to go on sale for £200,000
A RUSTED sports car once owned by a war hero who bombed Adolf Hitler's Eagles Nest has emerged for sale for £200,000.
One of just six ever made by Bentley, the 4.5-litre classic is now being sold off as part of his estate. Inside, the plumb leather interior is completely torn alongside a splintered wooden dashboard and rusty metal steering wheel. Specialists predict work to restore the Bentley could take up to 18 months and cost a "six figure sum".
