Young bought the rare Bentley in October 2018 and began the long restoration process. It was a body and frame with parts stored in three sheds at a country home in central England. He trucked the pieces to a friend’s home in southern England where the vehicle was roughly reassembled for its journey to Canada. The Bentley was on a ship when he learned of the new luxury tax. He immediately changed the shipping status to temporary import, realizing he would not want to pay the enormous cost to register the car in British Columbia.
Once landed, Young spent approximately 2,400 hours undertaking a meticulous restoration down to the last detail in his Vancouver home garage. He was eager to drive the car but would have to register and insure it in British Columbia first.
