1951 | Bentley 3/8 Race
Description
Bentley Special 3/8 Racer, year chassis 1951. This impressive Bentley Special was hand built by Racing Green Engineering of South Wales U.K. and completed in late 2020. Chassis Nr. B133KL, engine number B81 166K. Colour blue with creme white accents, high gloss black chassis and wire wheels. Interior trimmed with black leather, and black mohair weather equipment. This gorgeous Bentley Special 3/8 Racer is based on a 1951 Bentley Mk VI chassis which was fully restored and strengthened to take the also fully rebuilt Bentley B81 6516 cc straight-eight engine and the four-speed (fully synchronised) manual Bentley gearbox. The bodywork is a masterpiece of craftmanship. The design was inspired by the lines and details of vintage racing cars and masterly made by the craftsmen of Racing Green Engineering. The built and finish of this machine are of the finest quality you will find in the vintage car industry. This Bentley is in brand new condition, the car has only run for 2100 kilometres since completion of the build.
The driving experience impresses all your senses; the big eight cylinder in-line engine pulls like a locomotive and the exhaust note resembles an angry thunderstorm. The elevated view around, and the view over the mighty bonnet and front wings makes one feel like a fighter plane pilot on the road. This Racing Green Engineering Bentley Special drives, shifts, brakes, and handles extremely well and easily for such a big, heavy, and powerful machine. The automobile also incorporates some practical features; the interior offers plenty of room for driver and co-driver, and a large boot which can be accessed from behind the seats. This Bentley Special is registered in the Netherlands and can be exported to any country. A very desirable machine indeed…
