| Description |
Belem, Lisbon, Portugal HISTORY The 1936-1939 Bentley 41/4 Litre was a lineal descendant of the 31/2 Litre, with the same chassis, suspension, and choice of custom bodies. Its larger engine's extra power and torque -- neither ever revealed -- made up for the heavier coachwork and equipment that always came along. As before, the 41/4 Litre was a Rolls-Royce with a Bentley badge and 90+ mph performance but no independent front suspension. From late 1938, an "overdrive" transmission with geared-up top was fitted to make the car better suited to fast roads. Many of the 41/4 Litres had Park Ward bodies, without wooden framing, so they've lasted better.
