It has been recognized that speed
is worthless without stamina from the earliest days of the company.
The road-going fast tourers of
the Bentley Boys
vanquished all comers, even the stripped-down
racers in
a test of speed and endurance called
the Le Mans 24 hour race.
Not once, but 5 times. From those days
to this, every Bentley has possessed
the same long striding power, like the winged "B" on the radiator shell,
it is a sign of a true thoroughbred.
