Bentley 3 Litre 1st Le Mans 1924 #8 Clement/Duff by Ixo
Bentley 3 Litre 1st Le Mans 1924
A new regulation introduced for the second running of the Le Mans 24 Hours was that all drivers were to stop after five laps and raise the roofs of their cars before continuing, a task John Duff completed in record time and it is in this form that the car has been modelled. As with the many Le Mans winners coming through from Ixo of late, this is a reissue and overall the finish is very good. It is a very traditional diecast, but the wings and windscreen frame are finely made, the wire wheels are pretty good and the body shape compares well with period images. There is, as has been for many years, a question mark over the colour of this subject. The model has smart dark green paintwork but there are strong suggestions it should be black.
