Bentley Motors will be showcasing one of the most famous cars in the marque’s history – the 3 Litre iconic Bentley that won Le Mans in 1924 with John Duff and Frank Clement at the wheel – headlines the company’s presence at the prestigious Rétromobile exhibition next month 5-9 February (Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre, Paris, Hall1, Stand P48).

Now celebrating the 90th anniversary of its Le Mans victory, this unique car was the first overseas winner of the world’s greatest endurance race and started a period of domination for Bentley in the 1920s as well as helping to establish the company’s reputation for creating cars combining high‑performance with outstanding levels of durability.

Richard Charlesworth, Head of the Bentley Heritage Collection, commented: “This is a wonderful car to lead our presence at Rétromobile in Paris and we are particularly grateful to the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) and Musée Automobile de la Sarthe for their kind support. The car is truly one of the great racing Bentleys and is part of this marque’s unique association with France and motor racing.”
