"The body is
a Tony Robinson aluminum skin Vanden
Plas 4-seat-tourer with a 6 and 1/2
liter bonnet (long hood). This car
started life as a sedan in 1929 and
was quickly converted to a Vanded
Plas tourer in the 30s. The car has
been an open tourer most of its life.
The car is powered by a water-cooled,
single-overhead-cam, 4-cylinder, with
4 valves per cylinder, 4,500 cc (4.5-liter)
engine, developing 110 horsepower
coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission.
The 3,630-pound car has a top speed
of 94 miles per hour. The chassis
consists of channel-steel, front and
rear suspension by semi-elliptic leaf
springs, and 4-wheel drum brakes.
The car's mascot, 'Icarus,' is a rare
commission by W.O. Bentley and sculpted
by Gordon Crosby. The car underwent
a complete restoration from the bare
chassis to the Hobson Telegauge gas
gauge that actually works.
Production amounted to a total of
733 cars of all body styles. Fifty-four
cars were equipped with the famous
supercharged engine, 'Blower Bentleys,'
built by the race driver Sir Henry
'Tim' Birkin as a private venture
-- against W.O. Bentley's wishes.
