You and I, dear reader, are going to forget about “political correctness”, we are going to sit behind the wheel of a Bentley with which we will escape to more than ninety years ago, in the company of a character from a novel.
Possessor of a considerable fortune from the exploitation of diamond mines in South Africa, famous playboy, and “sportsman”, and with a touch of eccentricity, Woolf “Babe” Barnato was quite a celebrity of the time. And, furthermore, that is why he is our protagonist today, passionate about cars. And this passion did not stop at acquiring the most powerful and fastest, but would go further: it would be one of the famous “Bentley Boys”, which gave three victories to this English firm in the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1924, 25 and 26).
