Not a name readily thrown around in Rolls-Royce and Bentley circles, however as one of the famed coachbuilders on many exotic cars over the decades, Zagato did in fact produce 9 special order Bentley Continental GTZ’s for customers who obviously had an appeal for their signature designs which included a bubble styled roof line and deep grill treatment. One such example is owned by Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast Jack Henley from the United Kingdom. I met Jack a couple of years ago in Sydney when he was touring Australia. He was introduced to me by Keith Wherry, a past Federal President of the RROCA and very good friend. Jack told me he had quite a collection of Bentley and Rolls-Royce motor cars at his home in Kent and that I should come and visit him there. I was hopeful that one day I would and get the opportunity to see his considerable collection. I am yet to get to Kent, though I did though catch up with Jack in Marlow, about an hour or so outside London where he keeps a home on the banks of the river Thames and then again at Blenheim Palace where he displayed his 2008 Bentley GTZ. His example took nearly two years to create from a donor GT Speed (brand new) and, wait for it, ultimately at a cost of approximately £700,000! It’s sometimes described by people as, in local colloquialism, a Marmite car, because you either love or hate it. The Camargue suffered similarly from this public response on its debut, years later the Camargue finds favour with more people that it originally did, maybe Jack’s GTZ will also appreciate the same growth in appreciation in the years to come. Happy motoring and may many more wonderful stories come forward.

  • Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1)
    Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1) R-R Silver Dawn, Silver Wraith. BENTLEY MKVI, R type. N.W.Geeson ver 1. 2006 The Problems The writer declares quite openly an interest in Bentley and R-R post war axles up to R-R Shadow I, as it is a main line of business. It is not the purpose of this article to describe the procedures for overhauling R-R rear axles but to highlight some of the simpler problems, which cause these axles to fail. In addition a few axle related points of interest are discussed at the end. These axles are fairly robust and their reputation over the years has caused both owners and specialists alike to be reluctant to admit that most are in need of a major overhaul. It has become apparent in recent years that they are deluding themselves. The now common spate of rear wheel bearing and axle failures is ongoing and can be catastrophic both in cost terms and accident risk. Perhaps those who still believe they are operating a sound R-R rear axle ought to peruse the images in this article most closely. Unless otherwise stated it can generally be presumed that references to Bentley MKVI axles also encompass Bentley R type, R type Continental, R-R Silver Dawn and R-R SWB Silver Wraith axles. Bentley SI includes R-R Silver Cloud I and Bentley SI Continental, but the user must be aware that this axle was extensively modified during service. In a similar fashion references to Bentley S2 axles include Bentley S3, R-R Silver Cloud II & III.

  • Property from the Estate of Alfred H. Heineken
    For Immediate Release 13 January 2003 Contact: Jill Potterton (London) 020.7752.3121 ([email protected]) Capucine Milliot (Paris) 00.331.4076.8408 ([email protected]) PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF ALFRED H. HEINEKEN Saturday 8 February 2003 at 7.30pm “Had I not been a beer brewer I would have become an advertising man” – Alfred H. Heineken A selection of Bentley motor cars Paris – Christie’s is delighted to announce the sale of 14 motor cars from the Estate of the late Alfred H. Heineken in Paris on 8 February. The collection will be offered at Christie’s second sale of Exceptional Collectors Cars at Rétromobile, one of Europe’s most prestigious events in the classic car calendar. Alfred H. Heineken (1923-2002) joined the famous family brewing business, which his grandfather had acquired in 1864, at the age of 18, in 1942. From 1946 to 1948 he worked in the sales department of Heineken’s American importer and it was during this period that his life changed completely; he became passionately interested in the marketing of the Heineken global brand and also met his American wife. By the time he retired as Chairman of the Executive Board [1989], Heineken had become the most international brewery group in the world. Alfred Heineken received a host of accolades during his lifetime; in 1999 he was chosen as Advertiser of the Century in the Netherlands, and the Heineken brand was awarded Brand of the Century. A devoted family man, Alfred H. Heineken was also very active in social and cultural affairs and had an intense love of music, architecture, film, photography and the visual arts.
