1929 Napier Bentley

This was one of the competitors in the Boulogne Trophy race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
It's the 1929 Napier Bentley of Christopher Williams, a car that was created by Peter Morley and David Llewellyn in 1968 using a 24 litre Napier Sea Lion engine which has a 'W' configuration - two banks of four cylinders in a 'V' with a third upright bank between them. The car was originally built on a Sunbeam chassis but after an accident was rebuilt using the chassis of a 1929 8 litre Bentley.
