a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery has become the archetypal vintage sports car. For the demanding motorist who demanded something extra, Bentley offered the sensational 100 mph Supersports model from 1925 to 1927. Only 18 examples were built, of which 17 were on the short, 9-foot wheelbase, the other on the Standard Speed model 9-foot, 9½-inch wheelbase. The Supersports model was instantly recognized by the distinctive green-label tapered radiator. Bentley unashamedly claimed the Supersports to be capable of the magic 100 mph. Chassis 1161, on the short 9-foot wheelbase, was first registered in July 1925 with London County Council, its recorded first owner being one J.B. Stennett of The Laurels, Winchmore Hill. The original body style is not recorded, although there can be little doubt that it would have been of a sporting nature in view of the high-speed chassis specification. The guarantee period for the Supersports model was just one year, (all others had five years), and the service records for this car quote an expiration date of July 31, 1926.
