Bentley ‘Old No. 1’ by Racing Green

This Car

• Built by Racing Green Engineering in 2018, this Bentley Special “Old No. 1” pays homage to the original 1929 factory race car.
• Finished in this gorgeous shade  of dark blue and now UK-registered, it’s ready for rallies, road trips, or simply weekend drives to the pub.
• The car is based on a 1948 Bentley Mk VI chassis and powered by Bentley’s 5.7L straight-8 B80 engine – which really does sound the absolute business!
• The externally operated 4-speed Bentley gearbox is remarkably user-friendly and is geared such that the car is more than happy to cruise at 80mph all day long.
• After acquiring the car in 2018, the current owner embarked on a number of long-distance European road trips, including a couple of return visit to Monaco, as well as participating in some historic regularity rallies (e.g. 2019 Flying Scotsman).
• What’s more, the owner commissioned Racing Green to carry out some upgrades to improve comfort and practicality:
  • Heated Seats (very effective!)
  • Footwell Heater Blowers
  • Discreet Reversing Camera
  • Multiple USB Sockets
  • High-Spec Monit GPS System
  • Long-range Fuel Tank
• This really is quite a remarkable piece of engineering, and frankly impossible not to love from behind the wheel.
• And what’s more, included within the asking price is £10,000 credit towards any HERO-ERA event of your choosing, which means there’s no excuse not to get out and drive!
• As always, the car is now available for viewings and test drives at our showroom in Bicester Heritage. Give us a call or drop us a message to book yourself in!
