Few automobiles are as beloved by enthusiasts as the 6½-Liter Bentley racing cars.
The Speed 6 in particular, said to be W.O.'s favorite of all the cars to bear the Bentley name, established itself as the iconic racing car of the early '30s.
In the hands of the legendary 'Bentley Boys,' including company chairman Captain Woolf Barnato, Bentley achieved four consecutive victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1927 and 1930 in addition to numerous other successes.
