    This was the car that was made with the prize money from beating the train. The actual "Blue Train" car was a four door Bentley saloon. You'd think a Bentley dealer would know this detail.

      I don't think there was any prize money from beating the train. I read Barnato offered a £200 bet, but his dining companions didn't take it up.
      Meanwhile, although the Gurney Nutting car hadn't had its guarantee signed off by the time of the run, I get the impression it was well on the way to being finished. Maybe you got to pay the vast bulk on delivery like for a modern mass-produced car, but anyway Barnato wasn't short of a few quid and I don't think he needed prize money to pay for it. As Bentley Chairman perhaps he gave himself a discount, on the chassis at least! He owned or kept quite a few Bentleys in his time.

    The Gurney Nutting Coupe was not the Bentley Woolf Barnato used to beat the Blue Train. He drove a Speed Six Saloon . The Gurney Nutting car was a commission to commemorate the race and called the Blue Train Special

      THANK YOU RK! The same Tired BS is repeated with small voices Trying to set the record straight! on top of that the beautiful GN car is a reproduction for which Many have been made. The original I believe has been lost to time. McCaw in Seattle, WA own the GN Coupe AND one of the reproductions. Saw them together at the 2007 National RR/Bentley meet in Stevenson, WA.

    The two gentlemen at the end (and everyone else throughout the video) checking out the Bentley is such a nice sight.
    That's what exotic and special cars mean to me. People wanting to check it out, to look inside, to catch a glimpse of this beautiful machine.

    Astonishing that this jewel of automotive engineering and its stunning design doesnt give the observer the feeling to look at an "old timer". Its timeless beautyness end elegance fits like a handmade shoe into every century. Contrary it teaches us modern people in 21st century what crap design of plastic cars we surround us nowadays in daily driving and stuck in endless traffic jams. Tks sharing this vid. It was a pleasure and worth every second.

    As has already been pointed out, this is NOT the car that Babe Barnato raced against the Blue Train. That car, also a Speed Six, was an H.J.Mulliner-bodied formal saloon. This Speed Six "Sportsman Coupe" by Gurney Nutting was built two months later.

    • @alexgreen1559
      @alexgreen1559 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's a sweeping generalisation - you're more than entitled to your opinion....but I think that if you looked further than what you view as 'primitive' your opinion would change. There were so many fantastic, and downright revolutionary prewar cars (Riley, Bentley, Bugatti, Talbot to list but a few).

    • @future62
      @future62 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Alex Green No need to get defensive, it's just a different opinion than yours. I don't like the general aesthetic of pre-war cars so I have no desire to investigate further. It's OK.

    I can remember back in 1968, Autocar featured the restoration of this Gurney Nutting Coupe in an issue. The article showed the car in its derelict state- I seem to recall there were no tyres on the wheels. It was mentioned that the rear window was enlarged for safety reasons. I bought the mag because as a kid, I was a Bentley nut. Foolishly, I loaned this cherished copy to a friend and never got it back! I can remember about that time W O was interviewed in the AA's Drive magazine- he talked about his time at Doncaster Works with the Great Northern Railway and his love of powerful machines. He mentioned he did not like electric locos- he said they were just boxes sucking in power- not generating it, like a diesel or diesel electric locomotive!

    @keithkuehn3565 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    OH NO! Not Bloody again! This is NOT the actual "Blue train Bentley. This was owned by Mr. Barnato, (and there are lots of replicas) but the car that actually raced the Blue train was another he owned. I don't have the actual serial numbers of the cars, but they are available through fairly easy research. This subject has been literally beaten to death over decades. Now I shall wait for the fallout, again. And keep my head down for rotten eggs i suppose!

    Nice video, but that wasn't the car that raced the Blue Train. Barnato had two Speed Sixes, one with a saloon body that he used to win the bet, and this one ,built later, that he called the Blue Train Bentley as a publicity stunt.

    I believe if my understanding of history is correct the car shown is Not the Blue Train. Also the car in the piece the original was lost and they have made some replicas. The guy that owns Macay Communications in Seattle owns the actual Blue Train AND one of the replicas that is like the one in the piece. The two cars-the actual Blue Train and the replica were at the RROC national meet in 2007 at Skimania Lodge on the Columbia river. Anyone that knows anything additional I would love to hear it. I was at the meet with my 1963 Standard Saloon S3 (1 of 27) Bentley.

    They should institute a new plan for London. Electric vehicles only with the exception of any car made before 1976. No exceptions apart from residents and trade vehicles. There is no point in driving within Inner London for decades now and its got to change in a way that returns character to this formerly magical place.

    • @KlunkerRider
      @KlunkerRider 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Harey0407 Well the Blower would be the sensible, historically accurate choice, but the thought of a 27 liter 170mph Blue Train Meteor is such an outrageously totally *stark raving mad* idea as to be undeniably attractive.
      Of course the day when I signed the contract with Bob Peterson to build it, I would have to sign it with my toes while wearing a straight jacket while screaming "I want one of those!" , it would only be appropriate ;-)
      PS first phone call post-Lotto, would be to Pur Sang for a Type 35 Bugatti, yes I am a bit mad :-D

      Lamborghini created the modern super car.... prior to that it was expensive granturismo's which can actually be credited to lancia... furthermore in the 1930's the dominant super car was not gently by any means it was alfa romeo and their 8 and 6 c's, those cars were untouchable

    • @Munkenba
      @Munkenba 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Adam Othman supercar is not a word that can be used before 1967, I believe it has a specific meaning. Bentleys however were considered fast, they won le mans 6 times in a row I believe? In near road going specification at that. Alfa romeos were also fast, but on the gran prix stage where they mainly competed, they were shadowed by bugatti type 35s and 59s. Don't forget bugatti's road cars either, little could come close for speed.

    • @adam1othman
      @adam1othman 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Munkenba

      you're right but then again in production cars nothing cold touch the alfa's the only car I've ever seen that could was the buggatti royale but that was so expensive royalty could hardly afford it... furthermore the car in this video is a road car not a track car and thats what I'm discussing...

    A rather sad video. Two very amateur presenters who do not do credit to either the car nor the places they visit. Jack Barclay just over the road from the Colony Club, Mortons, and of course the Savoy - so much more could have been made of these magic places. I used to park my original Mk 6 drophead outside JB just to wind them up! And a Bentley cocktail in the Savoy? No mention of the only drive on the right side road in England, nor the roundabout specially designed to accommodate the turning circle of a taxi or that it was designed so that the offside doors were next to the entrance so that the driver/doorman could open the door and the passengers were at the door. And what were the ingredients of the Bentley cocktail? An amateur video done on the cheap and not very instructive or romantic!!

      W16's, if I may correct. The V-16's are the exclusive domain of prewar Cadillac's, Mormon's and Audi.
