The 41/2-litre Bentley is one of the most iconic pre-war cars, and the supercharged 41/2-litre 'Blower' Bentley is today one of the most sought-after and most valuable cars for collectors.
The ‘Bentley Boys’ won several high-profile races in Bentleys, and Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin won with a 41/2-litre car in 1928. Five supercharged 'Blower' Bentleys were built to compete at Le Mans, but the car's Achilles Heel was its reliability, and it never won the 24-hour race.
This Manual provides details of the 41/2-litre unsupercharged and ‘Blower’ Bentley racing cars, detailing their period racing history, anatomy and engineering, and providing an insight into owning, maintaining and running an example of this iconic car today.
Illustrated with period photographs and design and engineering material, plus photographs of restored examples in use today.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => The Bentleys built by Rolls-Royce during the 1930s after their surprise takeover of Bentley Motors early in the decade proced to be an extraordinary success for the company. This success was due to the performance and manners of the cars, to the excellence of their engineering and construction, to the wonderfully attractive coachwork offered, and to the association with the Illustrious Rolls-Royce reputation.

The new 3½ Litre Bentley of 1933 fully matched up to the inspired slogan "The Silent Sports Car" that Rolls-Royce gave it, and although considerably more expensive than its competitors it sold better than any of them. It appealed not only to the discerning sporting motorist but also to those who wanted a smart town car that doubled as express weekend transport. It was the right car for all occasions and the right car to be seen in. The Bentley was a favourite of coachbuilders too, and for years during the mid-1930s more firms exhibited coachwork on the Bentley chassis at the London Motor Show than on any other marque. The greatest accolade came from W O Bentley himself, who pronounced the 3½ Litre the best car that had ever borne the Bentley badge.

After outlining the story of Bentley Motors and the Rolls-Royce takeover, the author give a thorough account of Rolls-Royce's search for a car with which to relaunch Bentley before the earlier glories of the name began to fade. Then he provides a detailed technical analysis of the 3½ Litre, covering every aspect of the chassis, running gear, engine and transmission. This is followed by equivalent coverage of the succeeding 4¼ Litre and the short-lived Mark V. Each of these receives comprehensive treatment, with information on differences from previous models, revisions and production changes, the range of bodies available from coachbuilders, performance and behaviour, and appearances in competitive events. The history of the Derby-built Bentley is rounded off with a review of the late experimental versions, the Paulin/Embiricos car and the Corniche.

For owners, present and prospective, there are chapters on using the cars today and on the practicalities of ownership, including advice on parts availability, maintenance and preservation.

In its thorough examination of these most desirable cars, this book provides a rich store of knowledge for the many owners and enthusiasts who care passionately about them.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => All car enthusiasts know, or think they know, what a vintage Bentley should look like. It should have a Vanden Plas four-seater tourer body, and should be painted green. But Bentleys weren't always like that. When these cars were new, other types of body - saloons, limousines, fixed-head coup? landaulets, cabriolets, drophead coupés, sedancas de ville - outnumbered the tourers and sports models. Sadly, these were the bodies which were the first to be scrapped, even though their chassis were often saved.

W O Bentley had never intended that his cars should become the luxury playthings of the rich. His first model, the Three Litre, although expensive, was clearly aimed at the sporting motorist. Very quickly, however, it attracted buyers who wanted to body it with heavy saloon and limousine styles, for which it was not well suited. In response, Bentley first increased the wheelbase and then developed more powerful models - the 6½ Litre (and its high-performance version, the Speed Six), the 4½ Litre, and finally the magnificent Eight Litre. British society seized on these cars and clothed them with equally magnificent bespoke bodywork.

This book uses over 200 contemporary black-and-white illustrations and some 60 specially shot colour photographs to tell the story of Bentley coachwork during the 1920s, and up to 1931 when the company went into receivership. Each of the three classes of coachwork - saloons and limousines, drophead coupés, and tourers - is traced as it evolved through that exciting decade. Major developments such as the Weymann system, cellulose paint and streamlining are described in detail. Interspersed are short histories of the major coachbuilding firms involved and light-hearted quotations from the motoring journals of the period.

At a time when every vintage Bentley car which comes on to the market is regarded as no more than another chassis on which to build a Le Mans replica, this book is a timely reminder of the diversity of coachwork which used to grace the products of Britain's most famous car maker.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => ‘The fastest lorries in Europe’, the Italian carmaker Ettore Bugatti laconically described Walter Bentley’s huge, snarling British race cars that aggressively dominated motor racing for years. Driven by hard-partying young men known as the Bentley Boys, they consistently beat all comers, winning the Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race five years out of six. They also dominated Brooklands – the cradle of motor racing – and its thundering, steep banking, becoming the world’s most admired and feared sporting cars. Bought by Rolls-Royce in 1931, Bentley languished in semiobscurity for decades as their parent company concentrated on its main marque. In the 1980s Bentley re-emerged with mighty turbo-charged super cars, and saved the financially ailing Rolls-Royce from going under. Bentley was back, and today is the world’s leading performance luxury car. - See more at: http://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/index.php/the-bentley-story.html#sthash.wyTvvhqR.dpuf

                    [sinopsis_editor] => Découvrez une passionnante saga automobile, pleine de rebondissements et de lutte de pouvoir, qui aura vu Bentley passer de l’oubli quasi-total à la victoire et qui peut, aujourd’hui, s’enorgueillir de présenter la gamme prestigieuse la plus rapide du monde.
Multiplier par vingt le nombre de voitures vendues en moins de trente ans, voilà qui peut surprendre de la part d’un constructeur automobile, d’autant plus lorsqu’il touche exclusivement le domaine du grand luxe. Mais évincer Rolls-Royce, après cinquante ans de domination sans partage, en tant que fournisseur officiel du carrosse automobile de Sa Gracieuse Majesté la Reine Élisabeth II, cela relève du tour de force. Depuis sa reprise par le groupe Volkswagen, avec la présentation de cinq nouveaux modèles et une victoire aux 24 Heures du?Mans en 2003, la marque Bentley est définitivement sortie de l’oubli et de l’ombre de Rolls-Royce.
Ce beau livre sous coffret contient de nombreux documents inédits obtenus avec les soutiens de la Sir Henry Royce Memorial Fundation et bien sûr de Bentley Motors.

                    [sinopsis_editor] => new book which beautifully reproduces the rare promotional  magazines that Bentley Motors (1931) Limited published in the late 1930s called " On the Road". There were 13 issues of the magazine and it was designed for current and prospective owners. It was heavily illustrated and features Derby Bentleys in use by current owners with fashionable backdrops.
