Bentley Speed Six

The Bentley Speed Six was the high-performance version of the Bentley 6½ Litre, a rolling chassis that Bentley produced from 1926 to 1930. Introduced in 1928, it became the most successful racing Bentley. Two Speed Six chassis became known as the Blue Train Bentleys after their owner Woolf Barnato, who in March 1930 raced the French Blue Train. The train left Cannes at 17:45 and after a stop in Paris was scheduled to reach Calais at 15:24, by which time Barnato was already in his club in London.
