I've seen a few 1930s Bentleys at CC events and they always look great - and w/such wonderful detailing. So much soul and great to see the marque send two cars to the Mille Miglia for its 100th.
This is a great video. More youtubers should take their time and tell slow stories like this. I really really enjoyed it and feel impressed with many details. Thank you all involved !
one word = reliable. I wish you had not muted the sound of the clips. Would have been wonderful to hear the sound the bentley going down those roads and narrow strips!
My dream event.... where is Henry... !! :-( this is surely the most emotive driving experience anyone could have, it just shows where modern cars have all gone wrong since the age of modern electronics. I pity the next generation of drivers who will have to suffer the EV and never really know how to drive anything.
Incredible video of an incredible experience - great work guys! Gave me a huge newfound respect for these older cars. (btw I wanted to name the presenter but he's not actually identified in the video or the text info?)
Firstly, I am baised a Brit and an old friend of mine had a 4.5 litre Bently like the one you were driving. His father had bought it off a friend of his, these cars were built along with a load of other cars for the wealthy Brits and were the best cars along with rollers, no wings, no flashy colours, but supperb enginering! I would also like to tell you the Milla was won at a speed 99.9 mph, by a very famous Brit, Sir Sterling Moss. Yep, when it comes to cars and driving, we are the boys to beat!
Tim Stevens fair play, still certainly a great video for online content. I think we’ve all probably been a bit spoiled by Henry. Well done on the film, cheers!
Nothing more majestic than the view from the drivers seat of that Bentley. Cringe worthy shifting....perhaps you should have practiced on an old farm tractor first.
No1. Since when on God's earth, was the word 'swathe' pronounced 'swoth' ffs. No2. I'm afraid this guy sounds like he's explaining simple mathematics to 5 year olds. No3. Henry, this should have been yours.
It's "swath" not "swathe" and, per the OED, it's pronounced "/swɒð/ [swath]". As per the other feedback, well, I can only do my best. I encourage you to do yours.
@@TimStevens Ignore the shit comments, plenty more people enjoyed the film! And anyone dissing when you were driving the thing... they're obviously completely full of their own shit if they think they could do better haha! Great show of what it takes to do that trip. The Mille Miglia is a bucket list event of mine!
Proud Dad as my son is a Bentley mechanic. He works on cars from 1910 to 1990. Always something great to look at when I drop in
Just think of it, you are driving a 90 year old equivalent of a hypercar. Awesome!
Should've taken a leaf out of Harris' book and flung the regularity book in a dumpster and just enjoyed the drive.
Exactly!
Harry's garage
Now where's the challenge in that?
@@TimStevens There's no challenge (except for overtaking as much cars as you can), but it's far more enjoyable in the end.
@@Vonstroke Can't say as I agree. I'm a competitive sort.
Tim Stevens' tryst with that Blower's gearbox finally made me realize the joy of the manual.
Love the classic Bentley's and your work!
unmistakable was the ever present smile at the glory of the experience

A road trip in a classic Bentley would be fun!
The pints after each of those days must have tasted absolutely spectacular!

Monumental car! Gorgeous and driven by two very nice drivers.
SPLENDID !
Man I wish so much I could have one of those in my garage. What a fantastic machine.
one word = reliable. I wish you had not muted the sound of the clips. Would have been wonderful to hear the sound the bentley going down those roads and narrow strips!
Thank you for covering the event. Definitely a bucket list item to add.
Wonderful ride. Thanks for sharing.👍🚙👍
Thank you for the video. One of the most enjoyable I have seen for a while. And they let you drive one !
Lovely film, in my favourite car.. which is saying something from a lifelong Bentley fan[boy.?]..
Thanks for this, I so enjoyed it.
WF
Thanks for a wonderful motoring production.
watching this was a lot more fun than i thought! Awesome video!

I'm glad it's not just me who can't do double declutching.
Couldn't stop smiling throughout the video!
To be able to do the Mille Miglia would be so so good.
both of you r extraordinary gentlemen, congrats and the car
Bentley Blower. Bucket list.
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. John
My bucketlist got a new entry...
Beautiful Beautiful Video!!
I would love to do this in my 62 sunbeam rapier, I bet its fun.
Jeez, they must be a pig to drive, especially in town, but what a thrill.

Tim Stevens is the American dude. He's one of the faces of the Carfection sibling called "Road Show".
Wonderful
Where’s Catchpole at???

You lucky lucky bastard!!
This great old Benter and the Mille are (almost) good enough to make up for this not being Henry Catchpole.
We do our best but it is a very high standard to match.
Tim Stevens fair play, still certainly a great video for online content. I think we’ve all probably been a bit spoiled by Henry. Well done on the film, cheers!
It's 'Mille' ffs.
NCB right you are, edited.
Mille Miglia, there's nothing quite like it.
Who else thought the thumbnail was about Brum?
Very nicely done. Can only imagine what a brainful driving that thing is!
Tim Stevens - where are you from? You look Scottish but sound Canadian. I could be totally wrong though.
Even all worldwide women must enter the Mille Miglia race even they might drive a 1946 Delahaye 145
Is Shmee into Classic cars?
excuse me, what song title is at the end of the video

I own a 1960s Ford 661 Workmaster. It is an absolute breeze to shift compared to this wonderful Bentley.
Spiffing Old Boy.
Wish my E36 could take part of this event.
Only if you have the Mercedes-Benz 180
Sorry this is a story that needs the Alex G treatment
Pity they are now just posh volkswagens.
