1924 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model | Edinburgh, Midlothian

A 1924 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model, the short-wheelbase, higher-compression sporting version of the first Bentley. The 3 Litre won at Le Mans in 1924 and 1927. The Speed Model is known for its 2,996cc four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder, advanced for its day. This car is grey with a black interior, a sober pairing that lets the shape and period detail carry the picture. It seats four. Bodies on these cars came from outside coachbuilders, so no two look quite alike, and this one brings a clear 1920s outline to the frame. Its pre-war look suits period film and television and music videos, and fashion or editorial shoots, where grey paintwork and a black interior set a restrained 1920s tone. Advertising and events gain from the racing background behind the name. Weddings and personal hires work well too. The car is based in Edinburgh, Midlothian.
