Bentley?

Not a Bentley.

This vehicle is a custom-built one-off. The chassis and the engine stem from different makes.

Sunbeam-Mercedes
While working for Sopwith after WWI, Harry Hawker, Australian pilot and aircraft designer,
used his Sunbeam-Mercedes for fast transportation.
He had to lengthen the Mercedes chassis by 10 inches in order to accommodate the 225hp
Sunbeam V-12 aero engine.
