Bentley Six Speed #4 Winner 1930 24h Le Mans Barnato/Kidston in 1:43 scale
This is the Bentley Six Speed #4 Winner 1930 24h Le Mans Barnato/Kidston in 1:43 scale.
The Bentley Speed Six #4 won the 1930 24 Hours of Le Mans with Woolf “Babe” Barnato and Glen Kidston, giving Bentley its fifth overall victory at Le Mans and the Speed Six its second consecutive win. Barnato became the first driver to win Le Mans three times—and remarkably, all three victories came in consecutive years (1928, 1929, and 1930)—while Kidston was a former Royal Navy submariner who later became an accomplished racing and aviation record-setter. The #4 Speed Six was powered by a massive 6.6-liter straight-six producing about 200 hp, and its combination of immense torque, rugged construction, large brakes, and exceptional high-speed durability perfectly embodied the Bentley Boys' philosophy of winning through strength and reliability rather than delicate engineering. The car, famously known as “Old Number One,” had also won Le Mans in 1929, making its 1930 victory an extraordinary back-to-back achievement.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
