Like the 300sl shown yesterday, this pre-war Bentley was seen in the paddock at the NW Historics. It is hard to describe in words how phenomenally HUGE this lump is in real life. Though I suspect that my little 1.9L TDI engine is more powerful, this engine has a pure presence that can’t be matched by anything built today. This thing is magisterial. It is as English as Winston Churchill and probably smokes the same brand of cigar.
While the Bentley’s of that era may have been the pinnacle of the “high performance truck” concept (just joking!) I have a truck-ish CPotD “weekend stumper” lined up for you. Stay tuned.
man the fan looks a little underdone!!
