Bentley 4½ litre

This car was one of the competitors at the Aston Martin Owners Club's AMOC Racing meeting at Oulton Park in May 2017 in what the programme of the event called a Pre-War Team Challenge race. 
It's the 1928 4½ litre Bentley of  Guy Northam, although the actual capacity of the engine is 4,398cc. The 4½ litre was produced from 1927 to 1931,  with a supercharged model (popularly known as the Blower Bentley) introduced in 1929.
The Vintage Bentleys website gives the chassis number as RN3042 and the engine number as PM3263.
Here's Guy Northam at Druids Corner during the morning practice session.....
....and here he is at Britten's chicane during the race.
