Handbuilt Bentley Specials by Vintage Racing

[Garlick]

Spotted an advert for Vintage Racing in Classic and Sports Car magazine, a company who, in their own words, make 'faithful and detailed restoration and recreation' of Bentley specials.

Stunning cars they are too, I'll take a B-Special No1 please.

Have a look under the 'Our Cars' drop down for gallery and details http://www.vintageracing.eu/

Lovely

[Flanders.]

Stunning. I'll have the Blue Train thanks! God I wish I had a better Job .

[Garlick]

Great aren't they!

[tubbystu]

Wow !

Now then about that lottery ticket.....

[Garlick]

Changed my mind, I'll take a Le Mans 8 instead.

[Roman]

OK I'll take the Alpine then!

[tubbystu]

& they seem to have an original blue train with some decent mileage. Wonder how much ? £2mill ? More ?

[Chicane-UK]

Would not want to know what they cost though... yowzers.

[Mars]

Oh the Blue Train. I'd kill without remorse for that. Wonderful.

[Fittster]

Are they chopping old Bentley saloons as a starting point?

[TheStoat]

Blue Train

Just has to be

This is the actual manufacturers; the first link was just the EU distributors.

They are registered as Bentleys as well as they are built on postwar Mk6 cars. Also available in aero engined versions.

[Bill]

fk it, since we're looking at a big lottery win anyway I'll have one of each.

And an extra Alpine.

Great how these things make the Morgan 3 wheeler seem affordable

[Garlick]

Good link Bob, thanks

Not sure if it was one of these (not the Blue Train the Le Mans 8) offered at the recent Brooklands Classic auction (couple of months ago) but if it was, it was expected to make £300,000+ and a new commission would cost over £400,000

Beautiful though!

Just looked it up and it was but a speed six:
