The 6-Cylinder Bentley
The 6-cylinder 6½ litre Bentley is a fast but refined top-speed car and has been designed to meet the demand for a chassis that shall be quiet, flexible, and capable of high speeds over long distances… The machine submitted for test was a five-seater tourer, with a wheelbase of 12ft. 7 1/4in., and weighed, without load, 2 tons 5 cwt. The greatest interest lies in the engine, and especially the valve mechanism and its drive, and also in the vehicle's running.
