EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic 1929 Le Mans 24 hours race, where three Bentley works team cars are lined up in all their glory. In the forefront stands the legendary Old No 1 Speed Six, a true symbol of power and endurance. Its sleek design exudes elegance as it prepares to conquer the grueling race ahead. Flanking Old No 1 are two equally impressive 4.5 litre cars, with the one on the right holding a special place in history as being the first of its kind - effectively a remarkable fusion between a 3 and 4.5-litre engine. These machines represent Bentley's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries in motorsport. The atmosphere captured in this image is electric, with anticipation hanging thickly in the air. The drivers stand beside their beloved vehicles, ready to embark on an arduous journey that will test both man and machine alike. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at these magnificent automobiles that have become legends within motorsport history. Their presence evokes nostalgia for an era when racing was raw, daring, and filled with unbridled passion. With Red 5750 etched into our memories forever, this photograph serves as a reminder of Bentley's indomitable spirit and unwavering pursuit of excellence on every racetrack they conquered during those thrilling Le Mans races of yesteryears.
