Sad to see no mention of SCH Davis (Sammy) who won at Le Mans and Brooklands having survived WWI (having lost two brothers in that war) He then went on to write for Autocar, authored numerous books on racing and was something of an artist who along with many humorous cartoons also designed an early version of the Aston Martin badge. Sadly he died in a house fire in his nineties while his wife was in hospital!
While stating that the drivers of the 3-litre, No 10, at Le Mans 1925 were John Duff and Frank Clement, the video shows the dashboard plaque, clearly inscribed: "Drivers: Mr Kensington Moir, Dr J.D. Benjafield". Duff and Clement drove No 8 to 4th place in 1924, the previous year. Also, having said that the Duff/ Clement car was the first Bentley factory car at Le Mans, the presenter goes on to claim they had no factory support! In fact, it was privately entered, but with just a little factory support. These Petrolicious vids have become very poorly researched - just see the dog's dinner Sam Hancock recently made of his Lancia Aurelia B20 'review'. Even the title is just clickbait. Having spent a few dismissive minutes on the Bentley Boys (mainly just John Duff, however), the remainder of the piece is all about the latest Bentley footballer's express. Bring back the owner-and-car vids - true people, true cars, true stories!
I don't get any connection between that footballer's monstrosity and a genuine Bentley. Sadly nothing much of interest here and I didn't like the zooming in and out of the pictures. Disappointing.
