Driving "Miss Daisy" and remembering Mr Bentley - Iain Kennedy
Iain Kennedy is a very experienced cruise ship lecturer whose early career was in law and banking. This lecture is a great favourite and a light hearted piece. He had the privilege of driving a real, fabulously wealthy , Miss Daisy in her Bentley Continental in and around Mayfair and Belgravia. The lecture moves on to Le Mans and Ettore Bugatti. Lots of fun. Not a petrol head talk.
