With its front mounted supercharger, the 4.5 Bentley became the quintessential British sports car of the 1920's and 1030's.  It was  shaped from the earlier 4-cylinder 3 litre, but produced substantially more power with its blown engine. As such, it was a stunning road car and a perfect contender for endurance racing.  Due to its dramatic appearance at Le Mans and successes in speed trials at Brooklands circuit, racing and winning became synonymous with Bentley during this period and few other models capture this image as well as this 4.5 litre Bentley.
