1931 Bentley 8 Litre 13 Tourer
The biggest British car at the 1930 Olympia Motor Show, this impressive saloon could cruise at 160 km/h (100 mph) and was very easy to handle. In 1956 a lightened and tuned 8 ltr was timed at 226.7 km/h (141.7 mph) for the flying kilometre. This exhibit was rebodied by Van den Plas in 1938. Only 100 of these exclusive cars were made.

6 cylinders, 44.9 hp, 1100 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, 7983 cc (220 bhp at 3500 rpm). Dual ignition.
