What a Story, What a Romance, Pure Car Joy! Thanks.
Stunning machines, timeless like a warbird Spitfire etc, Far Better and Desirable than the Crown Jewels. Something to love and cherish forever. The sound the feel the vibes the looks it is all there.
Madoka shoes?
I can't live without this video anymore
Same!
This video overwhelms me with emotions. That era of racecar was unlike anything else in automobile history.
Naruto emotions?
For me, whose earliest impressions of all manner of cars and British bikes (Triumph), I could only read about the Bentley's and their grip on Le Mans in the late 20s. Mr. Morely's collection and insights takes me back to the 1960s and my initial fascination with the Speed Sixes and Blower Bentleys of the 1920s.
Superbly maintained motors! They are magnificent! Thank you very much for sharing your passion with us, Mr Morley, and for having transmitted it to your son. Driving these gems daily is the way to do it, not keeping them in the garage. Just hearing them sends my pulse racing. Cheers!
Love the Napier Bentley used to see it at the VSCC meetings at Silverstone where I marshalled
5:45 The roar of that engine is overwhelming to the senses. It will be truly intimidating to drive a car like that with the engine noise and vibration constantly barraging you with "hit me with your best shot".
Amasing car and this is music to our ears. Thank you Bentley Drivers Club.
What a Wonderful little film.Reminded me of my Father,
we would go to VSCC meetings my first was at Silverstone in 1965 aged 4 months in my carrycot😊I lost my Father 15 years ago still miss not going out with him to Races and Sprints etc. He would have loved this video,I can nearly smell that Castrol R through my phone.Thank You very much for putting this Video on,loved it😊👌
Fantastic guys, cars, and story. Could have watched much longer. (edit: could have, not couldn't have)
Are they praisable?
As a post-millennial born in Taiwan, an Asian country, I don’t think I should be able to see these beautiful machines driving on the road or even see them with my own eyes. I hope I can see and touch her someday.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing
Oh my God
Where’s the touchscreen? Is it a WiFi Hotspot? Is that steering wheel heated? THIS is an automobile. What they they sell today are appliances.
It is not a thing, it is a car with soul and it connects to the road with feeling
That was something that occurred to me some time ago. There is a quite large portion of our population (probably world-wide) that views a car as a "Transportation Appliance." You described it quite well. Those folks want something that's comfortable and has all of the conveniences of home. I came to the conclusion that it's OK. Most of the those "Transportation Appliances" meet those requirements.
Bentley's and most of the other cars that our group focus on meet a whole different set of criteria. Successfully searching for a much older "build date" is the first thing that gets me on the right track... and it goes from there.
I grew up seeing big blower Bentleys cruising around the country. Always wanted one - never will have one I used to be a trustee at Brooklands but quit for plitical reasons. It breaks my heart to see them allowing Brooklands to slowly disappear selling it off bit by bit. This was the birthplace of motor racing and it is SHAMEFUL that they werent allowed to RESTORE ALL of the backed track the whole circuit! Imagine what a venue this would be for Heritage racing. Instead the Germans took a huge lump of it (because they never could in 1940). Even detroyed the runway stopping aircraft flying in. Places like Germany and USA still have their banked circuits and the people RESPECT them - says little for ruined UK doesnt it..................
hey is their any way to get plans to build a chassis for one of these old cars
Did anyone else pause the video at the shot of the crash and try to find the driver?
Lovely car, envious, but my god, look at that cowl around the dash and imagine the consequences of a mash up.
I would like to know how much these amazing cars are worth today.
About $750K-800K US most recently. The 8's could achieve 125 MPH.
what's the general compression ratio of those old race cars?
the petrol back then was pretty bad, but there some bad additives people liked to use (ie, tetraethyl)
For street cars was mainly 6:1.
@@lznicu wow, I didn't think engines went below 8:1!
you should jb weld a two pence coin to the top of each piston & rejet for e85...
might also need seatbelts...
@@Iowa599 For a side valve engine is difficult to raise the compression ratio and also, they did not want to do it. In the '50s in Europe they started to produce OHV engines and this started to rise the compression ratio, 8:1 was something common.
Fast and sporty... In comparison to the tanks
Well they are almost 100 years old
Nothing mentioned about the irish and the history of the colour...
Any links to that?
@@SCUDommc yes top gear history of British racing green
I’ve got 265 pounds can I buy the bentley off him
Helmets and goggles first off.
Amazing what you can spend your "small wage" on when you have a dad that pays for the expenses of life
British Racing Green is a mistake. There was no official colour for British cars in international racing. Many were dark green and later that colour became known as Goodwood Green.
How do you explain, British racing green, Red, Italian. Blue, France, white, Germany?.
@@keithgoodrick-meech3921 I believe it was for convenience. Never official.
Racing green leaving his body, as soon as he's told it's not real green and racing's useless activity.
interesting video spoilt by awful background relentless intrusive repetitive swirling and whooshing intense background noise.
wandering nowhere background noise, like the video makers aimless meaningless going nowhere lives, dreadfull awefull
