The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and orthographic reproductions which are suitably annotated in order to provide quick reference with minimum searching. Although all information contained in the Manual was correct when going to print, modifications which may subsequently develop will be kept up to date by means of Service Bulletins. Information given in the latest Bulletin will supersede that given in the Section of the Manual to which it refers, until such time as the Manual is re-issued with the necessary amendments.

  • 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.

Not only that but COVID-19 caused our workshops to close for just over three months; with the doors closed, cars in a mid-state of repair and restoration, we could only hope and pray that we would soon be back in our workshops doing what we do best. When the time came for us to return we had to make changes to the way we operated to ensure the safety of our employees and customers and to also work at a viable level. This hasn’t been an easy process. It has taken a great deal of time and effort, but we are proud of what we have been able to achieve during these most unprecedented times. We are eternally grateful to all our customers long-standing and new, for their patience, understanding, and support, whilst we have been getting back up and running. We are also thankful to our wonderful team who have stuck by us and persevered during such times of uncertainty.
