Used Bentley 4.25 Litre

It was in 1983 when Bentley Motors introduced to us the Bentley 4.25 litre. They produced this car for a period of four years; after which, it was decided to develop a larger engine. The Bentley 4.25 litre is a sports car that is very popular in Britain. It has a supercharged version, which Bentley calls the Blower Bentley. This supercharged version is best known for the line, “There’s no replacement for displacement.” The total number of units of the Bentley 4.25 litre sold to the public is only 720 — sales unlikely of sports cars sold in the modern times. The normally aspirated version sold 665 units, while the supercharged (Blower Bentley) sold around 55 units. The 4.25 litre engine is actually an enhancement of the previous 3.0 litre engines that were installed in previous Bentley models; although the models having the 4.5 litre engine vehicle shared most of the features that the models with the 3.0 litre engines had. These are the basic chassis, the semi-elliptical suspension mounted on all four wheels, and its four wheel brakes. The Bentley 4.25 litre car won the Le Mans race in 1928. The car was driven by Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin. Two drivers had to be in the car since the competition ran for 24 hours and was an endurance-oriented car racing event. Later on, the car appeared in three James Bond novels. The conception of the supercharged version came through a very difficult time. Bentley was experiencing financial crisis and the plan of creating a supercharged version was strongly opposed by some within the company. In 1925, however, Woolf Barnato bought the Bentley organisation and the supercharged version finally began to enter production. The Blower Bentley (supercharged Bentley 4.25 litre version) was first planned to have the engine exposed outside of the car. According to Bentley, they were aiming for a unique appearance for a vehicle. The engine was designed to have a maximum power of 175 horsepower since the car was intended to grace more car racing events than ordinary public usage. This did not materialise since it was not durable enough overall, thereby the failure to win any major car racing event. However, upon the upgrade of the larger 6.25 litre engines, the Blower used Bentley immediately grabbed titles in two consecutive years (1929–1930). The Bentley 4.25 litre was not very fuel efficient (in fact – not at all). It can use up to 16 litres of fuel after running for only 100 kilometres. The larger engine is no different, consuming 102 litres of fuel after the same distance.
