When it's former owner, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, one of the famed Bentley Boys, set a new speed record in 1932 at the legendary Brooklands circuit in the UK, he was doing nearly 138 mph (222km/h).

A brave man for his times, Birkin said of the course afterward, "there are bumps which jolt the driver up and down in his seat and make the car leave the road and travel through the air." :eek:
