1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsmans Coupe
England
British automaker Bentley was founded in 1919 by W.O.Bentley. The company was well respected for its racing success.
In 1924, Bentley decided to build a larger chassis than the 3 Litre that would be more suitable for the large, heavy bodies that many of his customers wanted. Two models were introduced;
1926-30 regular Bentley 6½ Litre (362 produced).
1928-30 high-performance Bentley Speed Six (182 produced).
The evocative design of this car is believed to have been sketched out by Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato himself on the back of a napkin, and it was built by the Gurney Nutting Company. With its fastback, racy lines it really is the grandfather of the modern-day GT.
Engine; 147hp 6500cc in line 6 cyl (180hp Speed Six)
