Although I’ve never jumped into the ocean to save a human life, I’d like to think I’ve rescued more than my fair share of automobiles. Back in the early 1990s I became enamoured of Bentleys, especially the WOs made between 1919 and 1931. Much like my fellow Americans, WO Bentley believed there was no replacement for displacement. And rather than supercharge or turbocharge his engines he just increased their size, starting with the 3 Litre in 1919 and ending with the 8 Litre in 1931.
