This is a unique history of a most distinguished marque – Bentley. The book contains a wealth of contemporary material, covering models from the prototype 3-litre of 1919, through the immortal 4.5 litre, 6.5 litre and 8-litre cars of the W.O. Bentley era, the little known 4-litre, the 3.5 and 4.25 litre 'Silent Sports Cars' built at Derby in the 1930s after the Rolls-Royce takeover of the Bentley company, the postwar Mark VI, the R and S Types, the swift and seductive Continentals, the T Types, and onto the astonishingly fast Turbo R. All the material is reproduced in facsimile from the leading magazine Autocar - the selection includes a mix of descriptions, technical articles and maintenance, driving impressions, road tests and retrospective features, all accompanied by hundreds of diagrams, drawings, cutaways and photographs. Bentley cars have always commanded the admiration and affection of enthusiastic motorists, to whom this book offers a comprehensive range of historic contemporary articles.
