I was interested in knowing if KR still drives (uses) the 'Blue Lena'.
Well, according to the UK DVLA records the car has a current road licence valid for 12 months. Impending trip to Tangier? I doubt it.

Record is below ;

The enquiry is complete

The vehicle details for JLP 400D are:

Date of Liability 01 05 2012
Date of First Registration 01 01 1966
Year of Manufacture 1966
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 6230CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLUE
Vehicle Type Approval

.........eeeerrr said recently in interview that he still owns it
but not sure if Keith still holds a licence .... Think it was recent Fallon show where he mentions the Blue Lena .....

It looks like it was put up for auction in 1996.

That's remarkable - I'm amazed Keith would sell the car.
And clearly it could mean that he did eventually sell it, which would account for the fact that it is still on the road today.
Blimey - I would have put the wife and kids in for slavery if I'd know it was up for sale.

It didn't sell, so Keith may still own it. I would love to own it too! The history that's gone down in that car!

I've searched the internet and the sale of Keith Richards Bentley doesn't come up anywhere.
Given the cars celebrity status, it would be worth a fortune today (much, much more than the £40K asked for in 96) and very news worthy - so assume he still has it.
But it surprises me why he would want to sell the beast in the first place - rust maybe ?
And what happened to the Dino ?

There was a discussion on Blue Lena's Keith Shrine Facebook page about the car last week.

Angela Richards confirmed that Keith still owned the car but another guy said that his mate owned it. Someone was doing a DVLA check on it to confirm actual ownership, the results of which are still outstanding.

Thanks Rockman - brilliant, glad he still has it and presumably even drives it when he's around maybe.

In facebook in The Keith Shrine-group some guy claimed that he knows the current owner of Lena (this was just weeks before Keith said on Fallon that he still owns the car).
Angela confirmed that Keith still has the car but this guy claim to had all documentation to proof that the car is real Lena and I think they are checking out the facts right now.

FB

hope the link works

The car is from 1966. I wonder who has kept the car in good condition all these years. A normal car is scrapped after 15 years.

Geez, I hope he doesn't.
Wouldn't have to buy a ticket at the amusement park for a scary ride with Keith behind the wheel!

Come to think of it, ain't that car built from surplus tank metal?
Probably one of the safest cars around, but let someone else drive!

I must commend him for his good taste when it comes to automobiles. Those 60`s Bentleys are among the most beautiful cars you could think of. Jagger should have kept his Aston Martin too. The Brits made beautiful cars in the 60`s.

Here's another one for you car-people: George's mini-cooper:
