car, the engine of which is designed to keep its "tune"
in the hands of the average owner. The chassis stands
alone in its class as a car designed to give that peculiar
and almost perfect combination of tractabilitv and great
speed usually to be found on machines built for racing
and for racing only. Essentially a light chassis with
a very powerful engine, the car is nevertheless suitable

an engine in perfect tune, the whole point of the design
being that the engine will do its work easily without
the need of constant attention to tappet clearance or
other minor adjustments. True, in the hands of the motoring
enthusiast who has mechanical ability and is able to

its work year in and year out without trouble, and for
such is the Bentley designed. Continued...
