The Bentley Speed Six \u201cBlue Train\u201d Coupe collected four top honors at last weekend\u2019s Schloss Bensberg Classics event near Cologne, Germany. The Bentley, now owned by Bruce McCaw, was selected Best of Show by the Jury Vote, Best of Show by the Public Vote, Best in Class: The Style of Speed and Best in Special Category: Pre-War Closed Models.<\/p>\n
Eighty-five years have passed since the car won a bet for Bentley chairman Woolf Barnato by not only beating the Calais-Mediterran\u00e9e Express (or \u201cBlue Train\u201d) from Cannes to Calais, but then reaching his club in London before the train made it to the English Channel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe four awards won by the Bentley \u2018Blue Train\u2019 at this prestigious event,\u201d commented Robert Engstler, Regional Director Bentley Europe, \u201cprove once again that this car is one of the most legendary vehicles of all times.\u201d<\/p>\n
