Description

At Gallery Aaldering, we are fans of these beautiful cars from Racing Green Engineering. If you want instant character somewhere, this is exactly what you're looking for, right? This Bentley Speed Eight “Short Chassis” is not just any old Bentley. No, this is a car that looks like it came straight out of a black-and-white movie, but wél with the reliability that will give you carefree mileage today.*Excellent quality from Racing Green Engineering*This car has been taken care of by Racing Green Engineering, déspecialists in the field of classic Bentleys. And that becomes immediately clear when we look at the details. From the Mason’s Black paint (really deep black, like a Steinway wing) to the short wheelbase, which not only makes it look more muscular, but also makes it feel much more direct and playful on the road. You might not expect it, but this really is a Bentley that you will enjoy taking corners with.And then the heart of this machine: an impressive 6.5-liter B81 eight-cylinder engine. Not screaming, but an engine that makes itself heard with a deep growl. This is the kind of power source where you níet have to change gears much to move forward. You don't drive, you glide. A kind of floating, but with a thundering undertone.This Speed Eight has covered only 8200 kilometers, and it has been neatly maintained at an official RGE dealer. With that, this example is reliable and ready to go on an adventure.*Details that matter*On the inside, you'll find everything you expect from a tribute to pre-war Bentleys: leather upholstery with character, a dashboard full of gorgeous clocks, a large wooden steering wheel surround, and details that have been hand-finished. Every button, every lever feels like it was thought out with care and it is, because we are dealing with Racing Green Engineering and they know what they are doing. What makes this Bentley so great: this is a stylish, accessible driver's car that evokes the feeling of the Bentley Boys of old, but without a racing helmet or torn elbows. Just a car to enjoy. Start it, drive it and make memories.*Contact Gallery Aaldering*Should you spot an ‘old Bentley’ in the Brummen area on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, maybe it is this Bentley because this example is really fantastic.
