Bentley motors have a new 41 litre car in addition

to the 3 and 6 litre models which are now so well known. This new member of the family recently won a 24 hours' endurance test in France. Anyone who has driven a Willy-s-Knight sleeve valve engine of recent date will welcome the new 20.7 Falcon- Knight, which sells at £365. This is a six-cylinder car with an extremely quiet engine, which does its work easily and with no fuss. It is a fine top-gear car in traffic which accelerates well and which seems capable of tackling any hill on top gear. Add to this a roomy and extremely comfortable body with all necessary fittings, and no noise or rattle, and you have a first-rate car., There is something about a sleeve-valve six which has to be tried to be appreciated at its true value.
