The "Supermarine Bentley" isn't a Bentley. It's a Rolls Royce chassis, a Meteor tank engine (what James got started on before being cut off) disk brakes and a modern automatic transmission.

The Aero engine in a Bentley has been done far more appropriately in the Napier Bentley (google it) and the Meteor has been put another Rolls Royce chassis, but bodied as one and a far more appropriate installation. Classic and Sportscar did a feature on it some years ago.
