PICTURE A YOUNG MAN MESMERISED BY THE POSSIBILITIES OF MECHANICAL INVENTION THAT CHARACTERISED THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
A twenty-two year old obsessed by speed and its potential for changing the world. An engineering genius with an intuitive grasp of the dynamics of the amazing new internal combustion engine. Put those images together with a precocious visionary who believed nothing was impossible and you have some sense of W.O. Bentley on the brink of creating a legend in his name. And just one more thing. He liked to win.
