Since the groundbreaking debut of W.O. Bentley’s mighty 3-litre sports car in
1921, Bentley has been producing some of the world’s finest motor cars. First
unveiled at the Geneva Salon of 2007, the Bentley Brooklands coupé is no
exception, combining exquisite craftmanship and the height of luxury with
nerve-tingling performance.
The Bentley Brooklands is a glorious
celebration of this remarkable, handmade grand tourer. Featuring a
fascinating insight into the car’s design and manufacture, and a
first-hand account of how it performs on the open road, the book also follows
the Brooklands as it is driven from London to the south of France to commemorate
the famous ‘Blue Train’ race of 1930 between a Bentley Speed Six and the
Calais–Mediterranean Express.
With stunning photographs throughout, The
Bentley Brooklands is a wonderful
tribute to a landmark Bentley – a true driver’s car in the finest traditions of
the marque’s history.

and engineers of the Brooklands, plus full technical specifications
