Have you ever heard of the Bentley boys? During the interwar years, these rich and dauntless men played a big part in the English brand‘s heyday. They were aristocrats, businessmen, war heroes, but also mechanics, engineers and pilots : their success and feats of arms have earned the group their legendary status. Thanks to these lovers of champagne and Dantesque parties, this small team propelled Bentley to the forefront of racing. Presented by Bonhams, this car is one of the first versions, without a compressor. With a top speed of 200 km/h, this 4.5-liter model from 1928 is relatively light and quite rigid. It encapsulated the very best of what the English prodigy was capable of designing at the time. Auctioned by Bonhams, the car is worthy of your undivided attention.
