Constructed by renowned marque specialist David Ayre during 2003, 'GF 8818' successfully mimics the look and feel of the Speed Six Team Cars that Bentley fielded for the Le Mans 24-hours in 1929 and 1930.
Brimming with authentic detail and boasting a host of genuine W.O. Bentley components (chassis, engine, gearbox etc), it is well suited to long distance historic rallying or more gentle touring.
