H.J.Mulliner bodied Bentley Speed Six. Shortly after this race
Barnoto he received a new new Bentley Speed Six streamlined
fastback "Sportsman Coupé" by Gurney Nutting. He named the
car "Blue Train Special" to remember his famous race.
The car on the pictures is a replica based on a original chassis.
