Contributed by Francis Piquera (Owner)
XT 1606 is always on display in the Musée des 24 Heures du Mans now managed by "Automobile Club de l'Ouest". It ran perfectly last May for a TV shoot driven by Tom Kristensen, 9th recordman winner Le Mans champion including victory in 2003 at the wheel of Bentley Speed 8."
"Regarding to the collection of cars that we have on display at the museum, they are from three origins:
1) Automobile Club de l'Ouest (now as A.C.O.)
2) Sarthe departement - in which Bentley XT 1606 is part of, because bought by the departement in 2005
3) Private loaners or Brand loaners
