And that despite a few problems over the 91 laps including running out of fuel when a stone punched a hole in the tank. But to arrive in a 3-Litre Sports 100 years after it flew the Union flag as Britain’s sole entrant in the very first Grand Prix d'Endurance de 24 Heures would be special indeed.ĭriven by Bentley’s London agent and Brooklands record-setter John Duff with co-driver Frank Clement, the Bentley took on cars from 20 manufacturers (all French or Belgian) with great distinction, setting the fastest lap and coming home fourth on distance behind the leading pair of Chenard-Walckers. Okay so it doesn’t have to be this exact model – any Bentley, old or new, would make a fine way of driving to Le Mans.
