Bentley 8 Litre
The Bentley 8 Litre was a large inline 6-cylinder luxury car made in various configurations by Bentley Motors Limited at Cricklewood, London. Announced 15 September 1930, it was also the last completely new model by Bentley before the company's financial collapse and forced sale to Rolls-Royce Limited. A Bentley 4 Litre featuring a 4-litre, inline-6 engine in a shortened chassis was announced on 15 May 1931. Introduced a year into the Great Depression, the 8-litre and its smaller 4-litre sibling were unable to turn the company's finances around. Less than nine months after the 8-litre's introduction, Bentley Motors was placed into receivership.
