And then I switched II the engine on. f For those used to being in the driving seat, the driving seat of the Bentley Turbo R is the place to be. It affords a feeling of power that becomes decidedly more tangible when the turbo-charged, inter-cooled V8 engine breathes into life, transporting you from standstill to one hundred in something under seven seconds. And, should you choose to make a takeover bid, you'll find more than enough brake horse power at your disposal. Certainly enough to enjoy life in the fast lane. Fortunately, stopping is considerably less dramatic, thanks to power braking, while revolutionary suspension and interactive power steering allow you to manoeuvre with astonishing agility.

Since then, however, your Editor has been supplied with information which seems to in­ validate the main thrust of the final paragraph of the article, which tells how the very early 40/50 h.p. engine found and rescued by Fred in about 1961 found its way into Millard Newman's 1907 1939 Bentley 41/4 Litre (B53MX).

After the taxi-cab stint WHD101 was acquired by Arthur McDermott, late father of Robert. After it passed to Robert McDermott, he used it for a short time before storing it. Robert had several times indicated to me that he did not intend to sell it and that it was his inten­ tion to eventually restore it. Then, in 1992, Robert came to the realisation that he would need to live to a very ripe old age indeed if he were to ever get around to restoring all the cars in his very considerable collection.

The latest in a long line of Bentley flagships, it is equally rewarding whether you relax and enjoy the comfort of its rear seats or experience the pleasure of driving. The 6.75-litre V8 engine that can waft the Mulsanne in near silence through city streets can also catapult the Bentley from rest to 60 miles an hour in just 5.1 seconds. Where circumstances permit, its inexorable wave of power can be ridden all the way up to an astonishing 184 miles an hour. Just as remarkable is the Mulsanne’s chassis. The engineers at Bentley have created a 4-door flagship of exceptional agility. Its supple ride, linearity of control and precision of feedback invites you to explore the performance at your disposal. Yet travel in the rear compartment and the Bentley’s silent, smooth progress creates an oasis of calm to soothe away the stress of a busy day. Whether you drive or are driven, there’s no more satisfying way to travel. Bespoke luxury and sensational performance, in one remarkable car. 6 9 INTRODUCTION 12 INTRODUCTION 13 DESIGN “I have always wanted to make a dead silent 100mph car, and More than eight decades later, the Mulsanne is the spiritual I think that we have done it.” With those words, our founder, inheritor of W.O.’s vision, representing the pinnacle of Bentley W.O.

  • History of Major Automotive Developments 1920-1940
    History of Major Automotive Developments 1920-1940 - The main components of the cars were well designed and efficient, and a variety of accessories were introduced, such as reversing lights, radios, automatic chokes, windshield wipers, and chrome-plated trim. Since World War II, most commercial vehicles are fitted with the magnetic speedometer, which was originally developed in the 1920s. Tires, until the 1920s, were of narrow cross-section and ran at relatively high air pressures. As technology improved tires and they were made wider, they operated at lower pressures. The tire alone would not provide much comfort, however. Between the wheel and the body of the car it is necessary to have springs. Some carriages had had the body suspended by straps from the chassis ends, but the semi-elliptical multi-leaf spring was an early development. Leaf springs are still widely used on cars, especially on the rear axles. Early "shocks" were of the friction type, often consisting of a simple pivoted arm attached to the axle so that its movement turned friction discs like a clutch. Between WWI and WWII, several very high quality cars were built, and some of these represented such an exceptionally high standard of craftsmanship and durability that, owing to changing economic circumstances, it is unlikely that cars of comparable quality will ever be built again. These include such classics as the Bugatti "Royale," Hispano-Suiza, Rolls- Royce "Phantom III," Bentley 8 litre, and the Delage. In America the trend was to power and luxury, while European manufacturers concentrated on small, low-priced cars like the Austin 7 in England, and the Italian Fiat 500.

  • Bentley "Limited Edition Barnato"
    Homage to a legend: Bentley "Limited Edition Barnato" Fine writing instruments always have a story - and can tell inspiring stories themselves. The Bentley "Limited Edition Barnato" was inspired by a very special individual. In the 1920’s and 30s, Woolf Barnato, caused a sensation on the race tracks of Europe as one of the original "Bentley Boys". He was the Managing Director of Bentley Motors from 1926- 1931 and 3 time Le Mans winner. One of his legendary stories told throughout the years is that of the "Blue Train Race", in which he made a bet that he could reach London from Cannes in his Bentley Speed Six before the legendary “Train Bleu” travelled from Cannes to Calais. Of course, he was successful in winning the bet and beat the train with time to spare. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this race, Graf von Faber-Castell and Bentley have created a truly unique series of writing instruments. The metal barrel is lacquered in the characteristic Barnato dark green colour and guilloched in the signature diamond pattern created by Bentley. The chrome-plated front and end sections also gleam in dark green. The cap is adorned with the Bentley B, Bentley style knurling and Woolf Barnato’s original, handwritten signature as a reminder of the extraordinary spirit that lives on at Bentley today. The exclusive collection, which is limited to 1,930 pieces in honour of the year of the "Blue Train Race", includes fountain pens, rollerball pens and twist ballpoint pens. All writing instruments are delivered in an exclusive Graf von Faber-Castell for Bentley limited edition box.
