Exceptional craftsmanship by Racing Green Engineering
This car was meticulously built by Racing Green Engineering, the absolute authority when it comes to classic Bentleys. And you notice it the moment you take in the details. From the Mason’s Black paint, deep and lustrous like a Steinway piano, to the short wheelbase that gives it a muscular stance and an unexpectedly nimble, engaging character on the road. You might not expect it from a Bentley, but this is one you will genuinely enjoy driving through the corners.
At the heart of this machine lies a commanding 6.5-liter B81 straight-eight engine. It doesn’t scream, it growls. This is the kind of engine that pulls with ease, delivering smooth, effortless torque without constant shifting. You don’t so much drive it as glide in it, with the resonance of power humming beneath you like distant thunder.
This Speed Eight has covered just 8,200 kilometers and has been properly serviced by an official RGE dealer. That means it is not only striking to look at, but also reliable and ready for your next grand adventure.
Details that make the difference
Step inside and you are greeted with exactly what you hope for in a tribute to the pre-war Bentleys: rich leather upholstery with patina and presence, a dash brimming with stunning gauges, a beautifully finished wooden steering wheel, and tactile switchgear that has clearly been hand-crafted with care. Every lever, every knob is placed with purpose. That’s what you get when the work is done by Racing Green Engineering. They know exactly what they are doing.
What makes this Bentley so special is how approachable it is. It evokes the spirit of the original Bentley Boys, but in a way that is refined, relaxed, and completely usable. You don’t need racing gloves or elbow patches. All you need is the road ahead and the willingness to enjoy the ride. Start it, drive it, and make memories.
