History of the Bentley 4.5 Litre
The Bentley 4.5 Litre was a British vehicle manufactured by Bentley Motors between 1927 and 1931, with a total of 720 vehicles made. The Bentley 3 Litre was updated by Walter Owen Bentley with a more powerful engine, increasing engine displacement to 4.4 litres. Buyers of Bentleys used their cars for personal transportation, and their new chassis was modified with a range of body styles, typically saloons or tourers.
In 1928, a 4½ Litre Bentley won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Although the supercharged 4½ Litre Bentley's competition performance was not remarkable, it established many speed records, most notably the Bentley Blower No.1 Monoposto in 1932 at Brooklands with a reported speed of 138 mph.
