Petersen Speed Six Specials

This eminently driveable recreation of W.O. Bentley's legendary six-cylinder, 6.5-litre Le Mans Speed Six is blessed with the advantage of hindsight projected onto the original design specifications, enabling us to produce what many of our satisfied customers have called their ultimate driving experience.

By applying modern engineering to a basis of genuine 1930s Rolls Royce and Bentley components, the Petersen Speed Six can cope easily with modern traffic conditions. Beneath the vintage Bentley exterior, reproduced to original specifications lies either a 4.5-litre 6-cylinder, or a 6.5-litre 8-cylinder engine.

Both engines are discretely fitted with electronic ignition combined with 4 speed synchromesh gearbox and 5 speed electric overdrive for improved performance and reliability. The result is an amazingly steady car with high torque at low revs.
