A magnificent Speed
Six Bentley Coupe by Gurney Nutting
originally the property of Woolf Barnato
and for a long time believed to have
been the car that beat the Blue Train
back from Cannes. Recent research
has shown that it was delivered after
the event! |

"Bentley was
so named because it raced a locomotive
named LeTrain Bleu through France
from Cannes to Calais and across the
English Channel to London. (Both train
and Bentley were ferried across the
channel.) The Bentleys owner and chairman
of Bentley Motors Ltd., Woolf Barnato,
won a 100-pound wager by averaging
over 43 mph through the French countryside
and beating the train to its destination
by four hours.
The car's body was constructed after
a design by Barnato with light wooden
framing, heavily padded and covered
with leatherette. Barnato was a wealthy
sportsman, financier and playboy who
loved fast sports cars, especially
Bentleys. His wealth derived from
South African diamond mines. He invested
so much in Bentley that he wound up
as chairman. All 1925-48 Bentleys
are classics, says the Classic Car
Club."
