Bentley, Cricklewood, England.  The 3 litre Bentley was one of the original models and this particular car was one of the first works cars to compete in the Le Mans 24 hours in 1925.  A non-works 3 litre car had won in 1924 but in 1925 the works cars failed to finish.In 1927 a works 3 litre won the race.  The Bentley 3 litre engine had 4 in line cylinders.

At the 2016 Le Mans Classic the driver put the top up during the Le Mans start and raced as it would have raced in period.
