4½ Litre Blower Bentley |
 |
|
| |
|
| |
As the original No.
2 Team Car of the Birkin / Paget road
racing team, Reg. No. UU 5872 (shown
here wearing Chassis No. HR3976's
number plates — does anyone know
the story behind this? - VintageBentleys.org)
has had an impressive early life —
Le Mans in 1930; Irish Grand Prix
1929 and 1930; Ulster TT 1929; 1930
Brooklands Double Twelve and the BRDC
500 miles race at Brooklands, they
were all classic events and this car
achieved distinction in most.
The drivers, too, were of the highest
calibre: Rubin, Birkin, Chassagne,
Benjafield and Hall, to name but a
few. It was owned by Mr. Mavrogodato
from 1933 until purchased by Mr. Sears
in 1955. The car had been stored in
an open fronted shed (shown here)
and had been badly affected by the
elements.
At Herrentals in 1959 the car covered
the flying mile in both directions
recording an average speed of 125.676
mph, thus proving that the rebuilding
had restored its original performance.
Driver's eye view: No less than ten
gauges, five switches and two drip-feeds.
Just visible is the mesh windscreen
stone guard, raised by the riding
mechanic when following other vehicles.
The pit signal pointer codes are marked
on the inside of the door.
