Spark Bentley Speed Six - 1st 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours - #4 1:43 Product Information
Spark 1:43 resin model of the #4 Bentley Speed Six as driven to victory by Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston in the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours. Only 17 cars started the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours, the smallest grid in the history of the event, as the effects of the Great Depression were still being felt. It was still a high quality field, though, with a pair of Bentley entries (Tim Birkin's Blowers and the works Speed Sixes) taking on efforts from Mercedes and Alfa Romeo. The start of the race saw the two Blowers battling with the mighty 7.0 litre Mercedes of Rudolf Caracciola. However, none of these cars were destined to make the finish, and the demise of the Mercedes shortly after midnight left the Speed Six of Barnato and Kidston with a comfortable six lap lead, which it was able to maintain to the finish. The victory marked Bentley’s fourth consecutive victory in the great endurance event, and its fifth overall. It also allowed Barnato the incredible distinction of a 100% success rate in his three starts in the race!
