Chassis: LB2332
Chassis LB 2332 was the first of three Team Cars built and owing to its start number for the 1929 Le Mans, it is today commonly referred to as 'Old No. 1'. Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato drove it to back-to-back Le Mans wins, partnered by Tim Birkin in 1929 and Kidston in 1930. It also scored victories in the 1929 Brooklands Six Hour race and the 1930 Brooklands 500. It is pictured here in its 'fender-less' Brooklands configuration during the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed where the 100th anniversary of Brooklands was celebrated.
