Description
Ex Woolf Barnato former Brooklands outright outer circuit record holding car and current Class B holder driven by Oliver Bertram at 143.6mph.
Built for the Ex-Chairman of Bentley Motors, Woolf Barnato, by the legendary brilliant Bentley Engineer Wally Hassan, this racer’s sole purpose was to take the fastest outer circuit lap record at Brooklands. Developed and raced from 1934 till 1938, the Barnato Hassan Bentley competed in 25 races and broke the circuit record several times, ultimately with an unofficial lap of 143.6 mph in September 1938, before moving into storage for the War. The car retains its original chassis and 8 litre engine and also comes with its later 2 seat body.
