Built for the Ex-Chairman of Bentley Motors, Woolf Barnato, by the legendary brilliant Bentley Engineer Wally Hassan, this racer’s sole purpose was to take the outer circuit lap record at Brooklands. Developed and raced from 1934 till 1938, the Barnato Hassan Bentley competed in 25 races and broke the circuit record several times, ultimately with an unofficial lap of 143.11 mph in September 1938, before moving into storage for the War. With only 4 owners of note since the War, after a brief period converted to a 2 seat road turned to single seater format for Keith Schellenberg who competed with the car for 54 years. The last and current owner has had the car fastidiously restored over a 10 year period, to its exact lap record setting configuration, from its heyday at Brooklands. The Barnato-Hassan is the fastest Vintage Bentley engined racing car made in period, having achieved 150+ mph, and is road registered as MPE 10, which is still assigned to the car.
