I agree It is a gorgeous looking car regardless at how it drives but for me not as nice as Bensports La Sarthe

You only need to add "Dahn" to the name.

Wonder where they get the original 1950's Bentley chassis from???
Would have though sacrificing an original Bentley would not make financial sense these days.

Would have though sacrificing an original Bentley would not make financial sense these days. Intuitively, I thought you might be wrong. But, I took a look on carandclassic.co.uk expecting to find several sad examples for less than £5k but most are £25k plus - and not all of those will be free of major expense in the future. If you found a car with a sad body, it would be a good option to consider - depending on cost.

They take the chassis of old Bentleys and build these http://www.vintageracinggreen.com/racing_green/

"Relishing the opportunity to demonstrate the power, speed and reliability of his beloved Bentley cars, Barnato promptly wagered £200 that he could not only arrive in Calais before the train, but he would be at his London club before the train pulled into the French port."
