the 13th of March in 1930, at 6 p.m., Woolf Barnato, Chairman of
Bentley Motors, and his secretary, Dale Bourne, left the Carlton
Bar in Cannes, and got into Barnatos Speed Six Bentley to see if
they could get to London before the famous Blue Train. Driving
through the night, they reached Boulogne at 10:30 a.m. on Friday,
catching the 11:35 boat to Folkestone. Arriving there just after 1
p.m., they reached the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall at 3:30,
15 minutes before the Blue Train pulled into Calais. Of the
786-mile drive, Barnato said later that Any woman could have done
the same thing without discomfort, and indeed they probably could,
in a Speed Six Bentley.The 2019 Pebble Beach Concours will be
celebrating the Bentley Centennial. Arnage Blue Train Editions
rarely come to market, making this a fortuitous time to participate
in this piece of Bentley history.Blue Train History- The Bentley
Arnage T Blue Train is a special edition of the Bentley Arnage T
from model year 2006. A limited number of 30 cars was planned and
finally 36 copies were built. After the production of 30 LHD cars a
further batch of 6 RHD cars were built. Most of the Blue Trains
were sold in the USA.- The Bentley Arnage T Blue Train pays a
special tribute to the 'Blue Train' Bentley Speed Six. The one
source says that the Blue Train Edition Arnage was built to
celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Victory at Le Mans by driver
Woolf Barnato. The other source says that the Arnage Blue Train was
made to commemorate the legendary trip from Cannes to London in
which the Bentley Speed Six Saloon bested the time set by the
renowned "Blue Train".- At the launch of the Bentley Arnage T Blue
Train the first model in the series joined the original 'Blue
Train' Speed Six, now owned by Bentley enthusiasts Bruce and Jolene
McCaw, along with other historically significant Bentley cars in a
75th Anniversary tour from Cannes to London, following Barnato's
original route. Participants enjoyed a more leisurly approach to
the journey than that taken by Woolf Barnato, with attractions such
as wine-tasting, overnight stops and gastronomic meals at chateaux
and route.General characteristics- 19-inch seven-spoke alloy
