Bentley Chassis No. 42 on Ramsey hairpin.
The car took 2nd Place at 1922 Tourist
Trophy race.
"The three Bentley cars which
ran in this race were standard production
models with slight modifications for
racing purposes, and were in no sense
specially built chassis. The fact
that the Bentleys were the only team
to finish proves their reliability
under the most strenuous conditions.
Only 5 cars finished the course, of
which three were Bentleys." |
