Uploaded by on Jun 16, 2009

This film was made in the lanes and villages of Somerset, England on Sunday 14th June 2009. The car is a 1926 Bentley 3.0 litre, is unrestored and is in 'oily rag' condition, but is in good mechanical order. The soundtrack starts with a recording of English church bells, which leads into 'Zadok the Priest' from the Handel Coronation Anthems. 'l'Estasi dell'Oro' by Ennio Moricone follows (The Ecstasy of Gold), and the video closes with Parry's 'Jerusalem. The original video was compressed for YouTube using a Prism MPEG4(native) codec, at 640 x 427 and 30fps and the audio was compressed using MP3(native) at 44100KHz/ 128kbs stereo.

  • GREAT!!!!!

  • @jonohx This is a proper motor car. Forget air bags, seatbelts and electric nose pickers, I want something with soul.

  • @davidrbagnall rolls royce happened.

  • How did Bentley manage to go from building something of such beauty like that to creating the tat it makes today......

  • It makes you proud to be British !!

    Smashing film ! I realy enjoyed that.

  • Simply wonderful.

    Thank you.

  • To be honest you didn't need the music. An original 3.0 Bentley sound is music itself. Good turn of speed and going along roads that could put us back into the 30's. I was half expecting to see a white delivery van wanting to overtake though. Great stuff.

  • Absolutely brilliant!!!

  • There seems something very right about that car, the countryside, Old English Pubs, the summer and... well Toad and Ratty should be in there as well. As i sit in Typhoon blasted Hong Kong, in 34 degrees of high humidity, I've come over all nostalgic.
