See all our cars at http://www.cc-cars.dk or call us for further information, In 2016 the car was bought by its present owner, who put this thirties period 2 - seater sports / racing body on it, and at the same time checked all the matching mechanical components to find out they were all very well working after only 59.000 miles, Even the leather gaiters on the springs are original, The steering wheel and pedals was moved backwards as was the gear change from its sidewards position to give this pleasant lines and proportions, Full weather protection was made for the car, with easy use and removing of the soft top should that be wanted, The 2 seater light aluminium body meant also a huge weight saving for even better acceleration, Some period comments on the Derby built BENTLEYS from the thirties, To come down to facts, the BENTLEY is very fast, and has more than excellent acceleration but these are the merits of several other makes of cars though one doubts if any other does it quite as good as the Bentley See all our cars at http://www.cc-cars.dk or call us for further information

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
