Not only is this a Bentley Ute, but it was converted into being a ute by order of the Right Honorable 6th Earl of Stradbroke, Keith Rous. He's kept it and maintained it until now, at which point he has donated it to the Trinity Grammar School to "be used by the school or sold to donate funds to the school." We understand that the ultra-rich have a penchant for creating unusual vehicles, that nobility can be eccentric, and that both utes and Bentleys are awesome. The only question is, why did the Earl even think for a moment that the grammar school would use the 60 year old Bentley rather than selling it?
