1926 Bentley 3 litre

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in June 1961.

It's a 1926 Bentley 3 litre which has a 4-cylinder inline 2,996cc engine 1622 of which were produced between 1921 and 1929. Behind the wheel of the car is SCH 'Sammy' Davis who was one of the 'Bentley Boys' of the late 1920s and early 1930s when the Le Mans 24 Hour race was won for four consecutive years from 1927 to 1930. Sammy Davis drove the winning car in 1927 with Dr Dudley Benjafield. He was also President of the Vintage Sports Car Club in 1936 and 1937. I feel that I should know the gentleman in the passenger seat, but the name escapes me.
