WR ban Lee, all 100 of these cars in 1931, guys, it's not a steam engine. I know it looks like that but it goes off the ramp a little fast due to Overheating, I think it was a problem the aliens had because they had such a big 6 cylinder engine and the radiator couldn't really cool them unless they drove a speed for which they were designed to be the first in their class, Bentley eight. The liter is the eight-liter stretcher from 1931, nothing sporty that accompanies us today. The Honorable Sir Michael Kaduri of Hong Kong. The 8 Liter was basically a very large version of the Speed ​​Six with a new, lower chassis.
Bentley guaranteed these cars were capable of over a hundred miles per hour in 1931 regardless of the body work that was on the car, as they said, only 100 of these cars were built, they were launched at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1930, unfortunately, although they sold reasonably well. It wasn't enough to save Bentley, which went bankrupt in 1931 and, as we all know, was bought by Rolls-Royce on the courthouse steps. Michael. Thank you very much for bringing us the car today, the beautiful 1931 Bentley 8 liter from the most prestigious coachbuilder of all at Bentley's, that Nutting sports tourer stretcher after the bankruptcy of Rolls-Royce Bentley in 1931, while Rolls-Royce took over the company and began building what is known as the Derby Bentley's, the Diaby van is because the Derby signs were built in Derby.
