{"product_id":"the-bentley-era","title":"The Bentley Era","description":"The Bentley Era celebrates a unique moment in motor-sport, a short \nperiod between the wars that was populated with devil-may-care \ncharacters who lived their lives as fast off the racetrack as they drove \ntheir Bentleys around the famed courses of Brooklands and Le Mans. For a \nfew fast and colourful years during the twenties, the Bentley Boys \ncarried all before them both on and off the racetrack. They, more than \nany other group of rich young men, embodied the carefree, spendthrift, \nthrill-seeking, sybaritic spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Lavishly \nillustrated with over 100 fascinating archive shots and filled with \nnumerous facts and anecdotes, the book completely captures the glamour \nof the age when the legend of the Bentley Boys was born. To set the \nstory in its social and motoring context, the book begins with an \nintroduction to the life and engineering ingenuity of the fabled W. O. \nBentley before focussing on the on and off racetrack careers of some of \nthe most famous Bentley Boys. The final chapter follows what happened to \nthe Bentley Boys after their golden age was over and the subsequent \nhistory of Bentley Motors.","brand":"Quadrille Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39488427950151,"sku":"13990","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/51-iwvgeoxl._sx218_bo1_204_203_200_ql40.jpg?v=1772279262","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/the-bentley-era","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
