In the pantheon of vintage motorsport, there are few marques more storied than Bentley—and few models more evocative than the open racers that so successfully took to the Circuit de La Sarthe in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Where the delicate grand prix cars of its rivals were often found wanting, the simple, rugged, yet hugely accomplished Bentley Speed Sixes took everything the world’s greatest endurance race could throw at them, building a legend that has endured for a lifetime.

Reliving that thrill would be the preserve of just a select few, were it not for the efforts of Racing Green Engineering Limited, a UK-based outfit dedicated to building recreations of the marque’s most lauded models.

Chassis B34PV is one such machine.

Built on the chassis of a donor 1952 Bentley Mk VI Standard Steel saloon, it has been fitted with bespoke coachwork comprising an ash frame clothed in aluminum-and-fabric bodywork formed in the image of the famous Speed Six Le Mans.
