The Bentley 4-1/2 litre team cars for the 1929 Le Mans race (the lead lined ballast tubes across the tops of the dumb-irons, and the central headlights are the give away). Henry "Tim" Birkin on the left and Frank Clement leaning on the wing of the prototype 41/2 in the middle. No hoods had to be erected that year so the newer cars did not have the "traditional" squared-off tails which had been used in previous races. The photo could be at Barnato's house "Ardenrun" near Lingfield, Surrey, where the team used to stop for lunch before catching the ferry from Newhaven, portrait.
