Biggest Bentley Race in 100 Years

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In a nod to the legendary Bentley Boys we raced our very own Bentley 3/4½ Litre as part of Benjafield's Racing Club centenary celebrations at Le Mans this year.
We've said it before and we'll no doubt say it again, we live and breathe classics here. Car & Classic may well be the world's largest classic marketplace but we don't just provide a platform to buy and sell, far from it. We're enthusiasts, unashamedly obsessed with classic cars, bikes, trucks and everything in between, including racing, so when the opportunity arose to be a part of Benjafield's Racing Club's centennial celebrations at the Le Mans Classic this year as honorary Bentley Boys, well, we jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't?!

    Participating in any event at Le Man is just part of the fun of actually being there. The best part for me was the atmosphere created by endless enthusiasm of the competing teams ... that and endless flow of beer and wine! 😄

    What a truly marvellous film. It was such a special and unique weekend at Le Mans Classic and this film is utterly bloody brilliant. You have totally captured the mood, the excitement, the thrill and the absolutely bonkers chaos that is Benjafields Racing Club and pre war Bentley motor sport. Most of all, you showed the camaraderie and irrepressible sense of fun. A magnificent record of an extraordinary event . Thank you for sharing it.

    As I sit here in a suburb of Brisbane Australia at the end of winter morning (16C) I watch with my mouth open an amazing video, thank you so much. Your video captured the spirit of the meeting. What an amazing experience that must have been. Colour me Green ;) .
