Here are a few of the cars that we are currently lucky enough to take care of:

FR5189 – ‘The Little Red Bentley’


Whenever Blowers are mentioned it is only natural to think of Birkin, however he was not the first to supercharge a W.O. Bentley. Originally, FR5189 was bought by George Porter who raced the car in the body from W.O. Bentley’s very own TT car. The car was subsequently crashed and then bought by May Cunliffe who began to campaign it. Another crash followed in 1926, and so in 1927 the car was extensively rebuilt by Bentley’s service department and the supercharger added; pre-dating the Birkin cars by 2 years. This car had great success in period, taking records at both Newport Sands and Shelsey.

Now owned by the Singer family and campaigned regularly by Rachel Singer, this historically interesting and unique Bentley is now once again in its rightful place, on a racetrack. 

JK2340 MG ‘C’ Type

Another historically important car, it was raced extensively in period with too many results to go into detail. However, the most famous of its successes came in 1933 when it became the first MG to ever complete the Le Mans 24 Hour, taking a class victory and coming 6th overall. This car is once again being competed and is maintained within our workshop.


 



YT2204 Bentley 3/8 Special


Originally a 3 Litre touring car, it was bought at auction as a barn find and then converted to the form that you see now by Stuart Fearnside while at Stanley Mann’s Fruit Farm. The car receives a lot of attention due to its striking styling, aluminium finish and aggressive exhaust note. While only in its second season of racing the car has finished top 4 in a number of trophy races and shown that it is still yet to reach its full potential; a task that we look forward to.





NL8498 Bentley 3/4.5

A well known racer, this car has enjoyed a number of successes across Europe, taking podium class positions, an outright victory at Donington and is regularly placed in the top 4 despite competing against decade younger rivals.
