9 Bentley Speed Six In 1930, British motor company Rover advertised that it beat the world-famous Train Bleu. This was a luxury express train, and designed to take British aristocrats and celebrities from Calais to the French Riviera. Following the advertisement, Captain Joel Woolf Babe Barnato, a British playboy millionaire and chairman of Bentley, wagered 100 that his Bentley Speed Six could beat the train as well. (Back in 1930, the average annual income in the UK was 165). Originally, the Bentley Speed Six was introduced in 1928 as a more sporting version of the Bentley 6½ litre. The vehicle's interior is made of red leather, velvet carpeting, and walnut trimmings. The original version also had a champagne and crystal glass holder, but no namby pamby seat belts. Despite being off to a bad start, Barnato managed to beat the train by a few minutes, but when the French authorities got wind of his exploits, he was fined for illegally racing and paid a hefty fine. The story became infamous and the Speed Six became a legendary vehicle. The engine was restored to perfect running order, using original and custom-parts. The boot of the car holds a beautiful surprise as well. A fancy tool organizer, recreated according to the original specs. The toolbox (not a metric spanner to be seen) folds up to reveal a red velvet trunk, with ample room for the discerning 1930's man of wealth. The Blue Train version produced 200 hp, reached a top speed of 200km/h (125mph), and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1929 and In both races, the driver was none other than Barnato the Chairman of Bentley Motors.
