The Brilliance of Bentley (with Peter Grimsdale) Part 1
Beginning in 1919, Bentley Motors Limited produced a line of fast, reliable, sporting cars coveted by dashing playboys and adventurers.
Bentley scored five LeMans victories in its heyday and earned cult-like status that hasn’t dimmed for more than a century.
Author Peter Grimsdale expertly captured the men, machines and their exploits in his book "Racing In the Dark: How the Bentley Boys Conquered LeMans".
In this episode he shares his insights about founder Walter Owen Bentley, his life and times, and the incredible achievements of his company... and the merry band known as "The Bentley Boys".
