This is a spectacular car to see racing on the track.  Unfortunately it is not wholly original, as it was only built as a one off special in 1968 using a Sunbeam Tigress chassis; then following significant damage in a major accident in 1972 it was re-built on a 1929 Bentley 8 chassis to result in the car you see here.  The engine is a huge 24-litre beast, a Napier Sea Lion aero-engine. It powers the two tonne car with 580bhp with 1,250lb ft f torque.  This results in a fire-breathing dragon of a car that pops and bangs and regularly spits out flames, easily spinning its wheels from a standing start.  Reputedly under the bonnet it carries a warning notice: “The ultimate laxative”!  Thanks for creating this car go to Peter Morley and David Llewellyn, though Peter, together with his son Clive, was the one who principally drove it over the first 25 years of its life.  The Morley family continue to race Bentleys, though no longer own this magical beast.  The car has been raced regularly at historic events with great success and here is pictured at the Goodwood Revival in 2007, blowing out smoke and flames in its usual style.
