This bored out race wiinning 4,487 c.c. 1929 Bentley competed in the hands of its owner F.E. Elgood in the late 1930's achieving a distance in 1938 of 98 miles in the rain in a one hour blind at Brooklands, going on some time later to achieve 110.3 miles in the hour when conditions were more favourable, taking the Baddeley Trophy.
First place in the 1937 October Short Handicap, with a fastest lap of 108.03 mph was followed by another first at 109.46 mph at the Whitsun meeting of the following year and a third in the 1938 Dunlop Jubilee Cup race, averaging 100.64 mph, a best lap of 121.47 mph. Today the Elgood Bentley is owned by Ian McV Weston who brought it to Goodwood for our 1997 display and regularly visits the track, blasting up the Test Hill in great style during Reunions.
