| The unique 'Embiricos' Bentley B27LE was instigated by the Paris Rolls Royce & Bentley agent Walter Sleator as a response to the increasingly futuristic looking cars from Bugatti, Lago-Talbot and other French manufacturers which made the current English cars look somewhat dull. Greek banker André Embiricos, who lived in Paris, wanted a unique car based on the Bentley 4.25 chassis and commissioned the car designed by Paulin - a Parisian dentist - and the resulting coupé was built by Parisian coach builders Pourtout. A true super car the Embiricos Bentley with its mechanical enhancements, streamlined design and lightweight coachwork was a phenomenally advanced car; just how advanced was demonstrated in 1949 - a decade after it had torn round the Brooklands circuit covering a staggering distance of 114 miles in one hour - when it was entered privately at Le Mans and finished sixth. The 'Embiricos' Bentley went on to compete in the 1950 and 1951 Le mans races. SC001 depicts the car in racing form complete with rear wheel spats and bonnet straps. The car ran with and without rear wheel spats at Le mans and can be cut-away if desired (see race No.12 from le mans 1950 below).
