Thread: Interesting, Odd or Funny Pics II.

Those guys took a lot of pride in their work. It shows!!

Bentley built a development mule with a 4¼ L straight-six engine^[ derived from the 3 Litre's four cylinder engine. To disguise the car's origin, it had a large, wedge-shaped radiator and was registered as a "Sun".
W. O. Bentley combined one of his road tests of the Sun with a trip to see the 1924 French Grand Prix in Lyon. On his return trip to the ferry at Dieppe, W. O. encountered another disguised car at a three-way junction. W. O. and the Rolls-Royce test driver recognized each other and began racing each other along the routes nationale. This street race continued until the Rolls-Royce driver's hat blew off and he had to stop to retrieve it. The Sun's tyres were heavily worn when W.O. got to the ferry at Dieppe.^[
