Bentley

Year: 1924 / 25
Power: 85 PS
Capacity: 2996 ccm

This Bentley with 3 liter engine and Red Label Chassis was victorious at  Le Mans several times.

Its first owner choose the chassis because of the weather.

That's why it is a closed coupe.

During the last decades most of the closed models were converted to open ones.

The museum is happy that the closed body variant shown here survived and thus can be shown to the museum visitors in its original style.

Until today the car is in a fully roadworthy condition.
