A fast four-seater coupé with a long, sloping tail, one of the fastest four-seaters of its time.

The Continental was shaped in a wind tunnel and could do over 190 kilometres an hour. Only just over two hundred were built. The name has since been used for Bentley's large coupés.

Materials: Steel chassis, aluminium body; six-cylinder engine

Manufacture: The body was built by hand by H. J. Mulliner in London.
