Fantastic! It's also correct to talk about the super marine spitfire and its Merlin engine. This car and the superlative engineers of that period made this country and even saved this country.

I grew up seeing big blower Bentleys cruising around the country. Always wanted one - never will have one I used to be a trustee at Brooklands but quit for plitical reasons. It breaks my heart to see them allowing Brooklands to slowly disappear selling it off bit by bit. This was the birthplace of motor racing and it is SHAMEFUL that they werent allowed to RESTORE ALL of the backed track the whole circuit! Imagine what a venue this would be for Heritage racing. Instead the Germans took a huge lump of it (because they never could in 1940). Even detroyed the runway stopping aircraft flying in. Places like Germany and USA still have their banked circuits and the people RESPECT them - says little for ruined UK doesnt it..................

British Racing Green is a mistake. There was no official colour for British cars in international racing. Many were dark green and later that colour became known as Goodwood Green.

That was something that occurred to me some time ago. There is a quite large portion of our population (probably world-wide) that views a car as a "Transportation Appliance." You described it quite well. Those folks want something that's comfortable and has all of the conveniences of home. I came to the conclusion that it's OK. Most of the those "Transportation Appliances" meet those requirements. Bentley's and most of the other cars that our group focus on meet a whole different set of criteria. Successfully searching for a much older "build date" is the first thing that gets me on the right track... and it goes from there.

what's the general compression ratio of those old race cars? the petrol back then was pretty bad, but there some bad additives people liked to use (ie, tetraethyl)

@@Iowa599 For a side valve engine is difficult to raise the compression ratio and also, they did not want to do it. In the '50s in Europe they started to produce OHV engines and this started to rise the compression ratio, 8:1 was something common.

For me, whose earliest impressions of all manner of cars and British bikes (Triumph), I could only read about the Bentley's and their grip on Le Mans in the late 20s. Mr. Morely's collection and insights takes me back to the 1960s and my initial fascination with the Speed Sixes and Blower Bentleys of the 1920s.
