Description:
The 6½-litre cars were known to be a milestone in the history of the Bentley marque. In its Speed Six form, the car established itself as a racing car icon of the early 1930s, with notable successes on the track with famous drivers such as Barnato/Clement and the other Bentley Boys.
The body of the vehicle presented here is based on the construction of the original Le Mans cars. The basis for this Speed 6 or 8 Recreation was a Bentley MK VI from 1948, which was built by Racing Green Engineering Ltd. in South Wales using an original Rolls Royce B80 8 cylinder in-line engine. Racing Green Engineering has 40 years of experience in the restoration of high quality pre-war Bentleys. The engineering, including the electrics, has been optimised to meet the demands of modern motoring and rallying. The car combines craftsmanship of the highest standard with fantastic driving characteristics. Acquiring the car presented here is a rare opportunity for true Bentley enthusiasts!
