Chapter 1694： Bentley eight liters

Latest URL:

The first 3-liter car represents Bentley's vision for car making: "To build a good car, a fast car, and the most outstanding car in its class".

The 3-liter car remained in production from 1921 to 1929 and won countless races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924 and 1927.

In a 3-liter car, a story that people like very much is Bentley's attitude towards vehicle noise.

Even if Mr. Bentley is a fan of racing cars, he hates noise very much.

During the mass production of the 3-liter car, Bentley has been making detailed improvements to it, mainly to control noise. Mr. Bentley himself once said, "I hate noise. For a car, a silent 70 mph is more noisy. 80 mph is more valuable.”

This is one of the reasons why Bentley has so many followers today. Its quietness brings unparalleled elegance.

The 8-liter Bentley, as the last model designed by Mr. Bentley himself, has a special meaning. It was launched in 1930 and was the largest and most luxurious Bentley at that time.

However, the launch of the 8-liter car coincided with the global depression caused by the Wall Street crash, the market demand for cars slowed down, and Bentley encountered financial difficulties, which led to a change in ownership.

As a result, only eight 8-liter vehicles were built between 1930 and 1932, but a total of 100 vehicles were built during the entire life cycle of the 8-liter vehicles.

The customer of the first 8-liter Bentley car was a star, and the second car with chassis number YF5002 was selected by Mr. Bentley as a private car. Its first registered license plate number was GK706, and Mr. Bentley personally commissioned HJ Mulliner to customize the body of the car. In the end, Mulliner craftsmen built a magnificent car body based on a 3.7-meter short-wheelbase chassis.

And this one, although not Mr. Bentley’s car, is also one of the first eight cars manufactured. According to the order of appearance, it should be the sixth. It has been collected by the Grosvenor family before and is a duke. Passed to Hugh Grosvenor, he naturally has control over these classic cars in the best collection.

When Yang Cheng accidentally learned that Eaton Manor had a Bentley 8 liter, he fell in love with it, and then smashed it hard. Fortunately, Hugh Grosvenor didn’t have any feelings for the Bentley brand. Perhaps he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people. She promised Yang Cheng to give him the car as a gift. Yang Cheng asked for money, but Xio didn’t want to trade his father’s beloved goods as a commodity, so Yang Cheng loaded the car on the Yuanshan and brought it back. Fortunately, the body of the 787 is big enough.

Janssen’s hand slid across the smooth paint surface. The cold and smooth touch almost made him GC, “Awesome. It shouldn’t accumulate dust in the basement. Transport it to a California ranch. It should be Live a lifetime in a luxurious showroom."

Yang Cheng nodded, "It was originally going to be shipped to California, but didn't I want to let you have an eye addiction first?"

Yang Sen nodded with satisfaction, "You are interested, I like this gift very much."

Yang Cheng encouraged, "You don't want to try it?"

The 8-liter Bentley had the largest engine in the UK at the time. Its maximum power was between 200-230hp. It was a very powerful engine at the time, but it could maintain an elegant driving posture and good quietness, which was very rare at the time. Yes, Mr. Bentley personally built a miracle model, even today, it is still a good car.

Yang Sen shook his head, "Forget it, this is a right-hand drive car. Besides, once the engine is turned on, it will have one less service life. Just take a look~"

"It's up to you, then you slowly appreciate it here, I will go home first~"

Yang Sen waved his hand like a fly, "Let's go, don't disturb me~"

Yang Cheng shook his head speechlessly, but he could also understand that when a man who likes cars sees attractive models, he is as excited as seeing a peerless beauty. It makes sense for him to react.

. . .

Yang Sen was called back by Liu Yun's life-threatening serial call. Even though he was reluctant, he was afraid that he would lose his life to watch the car if he didn't come back again.

"As for? The car can be lost without looking at it?" Liu Yun asked strangely.

Yang Senyi shook his head unfinishedly, "What do you know, this kind of legendary classic car is very difficult to find. There were only 100 cars manufactured in the past, and it is estimated that less than 30 cars are intact in the world. The more rare, the more precious."

When I talked about the car, Liu Yun was completely out of the way, shook her head and didn't bother to take care of her. Anyway, when people come back for dinner, the goal is achieved, the other things are fine.

"By the way, you just said that this car was obtained from the Duke of Westminster?"

Yang Cheng was gingerly drinking the soup with the steamed dumplings and nodded, "Yes, it is the seventh Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor. His father and the sixth Duke have just passed away."

"Oh, what a pity~"

"Who said no?"

"How did you meet the Grosvenor family? And the relationship is so good that you can even send out your favorite Tibetan car?"

"It was introduced by William. It didn't matter much. Maybe Xio didn't like classic cars. In addition, the three of us also cooperated with a real estate company to re-develop the land in the hands of British nobles."

"Well~ I remember you mentioned this project before. It still has some prospects. This time it's finally started."

Yang Cheng put down his chopsticks and took a sip of fruit juice, "No way, there are too many things. If it weren't for a reminder from Hugh Grosvenor, I almost forgot about this project, but if he joins in, he is the largest real estate in the UK. Quotient."

"Yes, you guys cooperate well~"

Yang Cheng suddenly remembered his analysis of the British housing market with William and Hugh Grosvenor, and couldn’t help saying, “I think the housing market in the UK is too bubble and may collapse. Does Yuanshan have projects in the UK? Realize it as soon as possible, the economic crisis At that time, money is the kingly way."

Yang Sen glanced at Yang Cheng unexpectedly, "You have been able to learn well recently. I have just heard a similar argument from a company consultant. I think it makes sense. Have you already confirmed it?"

Yang Orange shook his head, "I'm not sure, but the general situation can't run away. You don't often go to the UK and don't understand. Now the UK housing prices have broken through the sky."

"Yes, Yuanshan has a lot of projects in the UK, and quite a few of them are projects in cooperation with Liverpool. Let's let them speed up and shorten the construction period, and go on sale as soon as possible. Like you said, realizing early will not be afraid of collapse. "

Liu Yun gave the father and son a glance, "Can you two stop talking about business affairs while eating?"

Yang Cheng pleased her and hugged her mother. "I'm about to talk about you. This cooperation between LVMH and Liverpool has made a profit, right? Bernard didn't say that he would give you some share awards?"

Liu Yun smiled at the corner of her mouth, "I am not greedy, now I have a lot of personal holdings, and the Arnott family should be nervous~"

Yang Cheng scolded uncomfortably, "I'm nervous, that's an old brave~"
