"These photos were taken at Oulton Park race track Cheshire at the Vintage Car Rally in 1961. Six of us went in a 1958 Morris Cowley with a bench seat so we had three in the front and three in the back all with no seat belts. At this meeting we saw the Napier Railton thrash all the other cars in a race which included Bucatis and Bentleys."

Only 182 Speed Sixes were built, and this particular car is a genuine ‘matching numbers’ 138 inch wheelbase Speed Six with ‘C’-type gearbox and high ratio 13/46 (3.538:1) rear axle. The chassis was completed and collected by the coachbuilder on 20 March 1929 and the newly-bodied car was given its final test by the Bentley works on 17 May 1929.

It was then delivered to its first owner, Major P.C. Burton, who kept it until 1936, by which time not only the car’s five-year guarantee but also the original Bentley company had expired. Registered ‘UU 770’ in London, this car is fitted with four-seated touring body by Hunt, finished in British Racing Green with green interior trim, This, of course, is the classic body style for the vintage Bentley, bringing memories of the marque’s fine record of five wins in the Le Mans 2-Hour Race in 1924-27-28-29-30.

This car has been in possession of the famous car collector Ed Jurist, New York for 30 years.

"I wrote to you some years ago about the "Horley Bentley", believing it was in NY, but you did not appear to know of the car. Possibly as I have now found it is also known better as the Hunt Bentley. (Hunts Garage on Brighton Rd at Salfords, Redhill, Surrey UK)
