RM Auctions’ Monterey: 1924 Bentley 3/8 Litre “Hawkeye Special”

I absolutely adore vintage racers. They’re bombasic and unique and beautiful, and required immense talent, bravery and madness from the people who drove and raced them.

This 1924 Bentley 3/8 Litre “Hawkeye Special”, one of many magnificent machines up for auction at RM Auctions’ upcoming Monterey sale, is a stunning example of their breed.

It’s absolutely immaculate, stunning and, with an eight litre motor stuffed into its 3 litre chassis, sure to be heaps of fun when unleashed for a spot of historic racing.

It’ll go up for auction at RM Auctions’ Monterey sale, which will be held at the Portola Hotel & Spa and Monterey Conference Center over the 17th and 18th of August, 2012, coinciding with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Head to their website here for more info.
