Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series: A Classic Reborn

Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series: A Timeless Icon Reimagined

Dubai’s luxury car market is synonymous with rare, high-performance, and heritage-rich automobiles. One of the latest masterpieces to captivate enthusiasts is the Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series. Limited to just twelve models, this special edition is a tribute to Bentley’s rich motorsport history and exemplifies the marque’s dedication to timeless craftsmanship and engineering excellence.

A Dream Realized

For many automotive enthusiasts, the passion for cars starts in childhood. This is precisely the case for the proud owner of the third of twelve Speed Six Continuation Series models. His fascination began with a scale model of the Bentley Blower, a gift from his uncle, which ultimately inspired his collection of some of Bentley’s most sought-after models, including the first-generation Continental GT, the Continental GT3R, and the Bentayga First Edition.

The Speed Six Continuation Series is crafted by Bentley’s Mulliner Classic division, where meticulous attention to detail ensures each model remains faithful to the original 1930s Speed Six works racer. The owner’s Speed Six features unique personalizations, including a one-off Embelo Green paint finish and a racing number 3, a nod to his semi-professional rugby days. The interior is upholstered in red, a tribute to his cherished childhood Bentley model.

Precision Craftsmanship and Personalization

The Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series is a result of the brand’s commitment to precision craftsmanship. This model is equipped with twin SU carburetors, a higher compression ratio, and a performance-focused camshaft, delivering a driving experience that stays true to W.O. Bentley’s original vision.

As part of the bespoke commissioning process, the owner was deeply involved in the car’s creation, even working alongside Mulliner’s artisans to fit the Rexine fabric on his Blower model. His passion for Bentley’s legacy is evident in his commitment to driving the Speed Six regularly, embracing its legacy of speed, reliability, and endurance.

The Speed Six Legacy

First introduced in 1928, the Speed Six was an evolution of the Bentley 6½ Litre and became one of the brand’s most successful racing cars. With victories at the 1929 and 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours, the Speed Six solidified its reputation as one of the finest endurance race cars of its time.

For the Continuation Series, Mulliner Classic used two original Speed Six models as reference: Bentley’s own Speed Six GU409 and ‘Old Number 3,’ the legendary 1930 Le Mans works racer. The team meticulously studied these historic models, using 80% of the original blueprints provided by the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation to ensure complete authenticity.
