The third car in this highly exclusive series is a special one.
Bentley is known both for its cutting-edge innovation and its rich history, and one of the latest creations from Mulliner, Bentley’s storied bespoke department, showcases both beautifully. It’s the new Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series, a revival of the historic and highly successful Bentley race car, created using historic documents and original cars, as well as cutting-edge technology. Both old and new solutions come together to create a faithfully recreated Speed Six, manufactured using period-correct materials and techniques.
Only 12 Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series customer cars will be made, and the third one has just been revealed, with a very special configuration as part of a cherished collection. The owner’s love for Bentley began in childhood, owning a ‘Models of Yesteryear’ scale model of the Blower that sparked a lifelong interest in Bentley’s pre-war race cars.
Today, the dream of owning one has been realized in an incredible way with the delivery of his new Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series. The new car joins an extensive collection of Bentleys owned by him and his wife, including a Continental GT, a rare Continental GT3R, a Continental Supersports, and a First Edition Bentley Bentayga. However, the two crown jewels of the collection are a Blower Continuation Series, and the new Speed Six Continuation Series.
Being the third car of the series is serendipitous, as the number 3 has significance to the owner, playing rugby with a number 3 jersey, and having three daughters, who are the namesake for the bespoke “Embelo Green” paint color that both the Speed Six Continuation Series and the Blower Continuation Series are finished in. With a personal story and a historic legacy, the new Bentley Speed Six Continuation Series number 3 is an incredibly special creation.
