Bentley is synonymous with the term Le Mans in England, thanks to the five victories achieved there before the Second World War. This "Speed ​​Six", known as "Old Number One", can boast back-to-back Le Mans victories in 1929 and 1930, each with Woolf Barnato at the wheel. In fact, Barnato, who shared the car with another of the 'Bentley Boys', namely Glen Kidston, the record-breaking English driver, also won the 1928 24 Hours, posting a unique run of three consecutive victories.
