The fastest lorries in the world

This 4.5 litre 1931 Bentley was the last built, after Bentley was acquired by Rolls Royce. (Delivered 1937, see comments below.) This sprightly 80 year old has just had a repair to the cylinder block and was having a run out on the M25. Still does about 4,000 miles a year.

 

These are the cars famous for their runs in the Le Mans 24 hour races. Bugatti is supposed to have said "I admire Senhor Bentley, he makes the fastest lorries in trhe world. Bugatti cars were rather more compact.
