I'm now 76 and although I will never be able to afford one, that doesn't stop me still wanting to own one, as I think it is the Most Iconic Car of all time. I envy all those lucky people who will become the owners of these modern replicas. Russ. UK

    Bentley back in the day when they where Bentley, ie pre 1931 takeover by RR, built their customers a chasis with an engine and radiator, a gear box, a transmission with 4 wheels and a steering mechanism plus steering wheel. It was up to the customer to take all that to their favourite coach builder who would put a body on it according to their wishes and pocket.

      Bentley experts examined the Hudson 4.2 liter straight eight and found it shorter and lighter than the 3.5 Bentley six. The one feature the Bentley had over the Hudson was the 4 speed transmission vs the Hudson 3 speed.
      O yes the Hudson chassis cost 100 pounds, the Bentley cost 1000 pounds. No wonder Railton could offer their car at 700 pounds compared to 1500 for a Bentley.
      If you examined the 2 cars side by side the Bentley was obviously better built and more costly to make but in practical terms the Railton offered a lot of car for the money, similar to Jaguar vs Bentley a few years later.

    Alvis have been doing something similar for years, offering a modern version of one of the 1930s models. Modern laws require seat belts and the engine now has fuel injection and a catalytic converter but is still essentially the 1930s engine. Sensible practicality also sees modern disc brakes on the front along with a modern 5 speed gearbox, but overall the car is still built to the original 1930s design.

      However the Bentleys were pulling away from them so as all racing drivers know Mercedes kept there's running.
      Of course all the Benleys and Mercedes blew there engines and a 6.5 Bentley won the race, it wouldn't if the Mercedes drivers had followed instructions.

McCaw in Seattle, WA owns the car that was at the National Rolls Royce and Bentley Meet at Skamania Lodge in 2007 that is claimed to be the "Blue Train. He also owns one of the replicas that is drawn at 2:52. So? Which is it? The McCaw sedan or the one that is pictured here at 2:52?

    Most of this is rubbish - the racing from Brooklands has hardly any Bentleys actually in it - Talbot, Alfa, ERA, all feature. And to say the magnificent Lemans Bentleys were game changers in design terms is rubbish, they were a combination of refined established practice and excellent workmanship, nor did car design take on a new direction in the subsequent years, the 1930s were pretty stagnant in development terms. Most of the pictures are of 4.5 litres, some supercharged, and even include a dire electric replica. The voice is grating and the script is terrible, to the point that I wonder if this is some kind of hoax.

    "We'll go through everything..."
    Everything? Do you imagine 12 minutes 47 seconds is enough to cover the topic, even superficially? And for goodness' sake, get a real english-speaking brit to read the commentary. Or could you not find one who would demean himself to do the job? So you had to settle for someone from the land of plastic cars that fall apart minutes after they roll out the dealer's door?
    Of course, the car will be bristling with all the modern safety features - which will make a biscuit dipped in tea out of a full-strength korma curry. It will be as interesting as a supermarket trolley powered by a wind-up clockwork motor.

    Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.... Lots of repetitive hot air, no details and a few photos... Dude's, you are the epitome of boring.

    Garrulous, loquacious, and astonishingly repetitive. This has been made with a robot voice that sounds ******* awful.

    How to use a lot of words to say nothing of any use to anyone interested in Bentleys. Americans are not very bright but they are still very noisy.

    The 6 1/2 was a town carriage for gentlemen. Most were cut down to make Le Mans replicas. In the period if you wanted to race there were Bugatti T35C, Alfa Monza, Merc SSK etc. For grand touring there was Lagonda, Talbot, Delage , Hispano Suiza etc. All supercars in the day.

    So looking at “endurance” why does the 3000 mile service cost $15,000? If I pay that much I want that SOB TO RUN FOR YEARS WITH MINIMAL SERVICE. What bs.
