The breathtaking Embiricos Bentley


At the last week Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance, we had a rare chance to see a unique creation. The famous Embiricos Bentley, build for greek magnate Ανδρέα M. Εμπειρίκο (André M. Embiricos) in 1938 designed by aerodynamics expert Georges Paulin and constructed by the famous french coachbuilder Pourtout Paris. Where the standard Bentley 4 1/4 Litre Coupe topped 145 km/h, this streamlined version was able to reach a topspeed of 207 km/h.
