Bentley Mark VI Majestic Major Hemi V8 Special (one-off). 

When you first see a Bentley Mark VI in all of its stately proportions, high-performance isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The Mark VI is now often used as a wedding car along with its Rolls-Royce stablemate the Silver Wraith, and what they lack in outright speed they make up for with elegance, dignity, and opulence.

For the uninitiated, a Bentley Special is a car that started life as a Bentley, often a Mark VI, that then has its chassis shortened and lowered. A new more sporting body is usually fitted on top, possibly influenced by the Bentley Le Mans racers of the 1920s and 1930s, and new engines and transmissions are frequently fitted for a more sporting driving experience.

In essence, Bentley Specials are hot rods for the kind of people who fare on a first name basis with all the Ritz-Carlton concierges from London to Los Angeles.

When delivered to customers most of the Bentley Mark VIs that were made were fitted with steel coachwork with four doors, and they were powered by either the 4.3 or 4.6 liter straight-six sending power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox.

The Daimler Majestic Major 4.5 V8 engine is perhaps not as well known as it should be. It was designed by legendary British engineer Edward Turner in two forms that look remarkably similar from the outside – the 2.5 V8 and the 4.5 V8.

The 2.5 V8 was produced in far higher numbers as it was fitted to both the Daimler SP250 sports car and the Daimler V8 250 four-door sedan. Surprisingly given the difference in displacement the external dimensions of the two engines are fairly close, the 4.5 is slightly wider, longer, and deeper.

Turner had made a name for himself designing motorcycle engines for Ariel and then Triumph earlier in his career, including the famous Ariel Square Four, the Triumph Speed Twin, the Triumph Thunderbird, and the Triumph T120 Bonneville.

In 1959 he designed the two automotive V8 engines for Daimler, using a very similar design for both engines, which included hemispherical combustion chambers and an overhead valve cylinder head design influenced by his earlier work on high-performance Triumph motorcycle engines.

The V8 has a 90º vee angle, an iron block with sandcast aluminum-alloy heads which contain two valves per cylinder actuated with pushrods from the camshaft which is located high in the block. The design of the engine has been praised by many over the years, including Jay Leno, however the fact that it was most famously fitted to the Daimler SP250 sports car – a vehicle that was not at all well-received – did dampen its reception somewhat. The 4.5 liter version of the V8 was fitted to the Daimler Majestic Major, a large and luxurious four-door sedan with a curb weight north of 4,000 lbs. The engine was said to produce 220 bhp and 283 lb ft of torque however this has been challenged in intervening years as the Daimler dynamometer was somewhat antiquated and was unable to produce readings above 220 bhp.

Whatever the actual power of the engine was it was prodigious, it was capable of propelling the hefty Daimler Majestic Major to a top speed of 120 mph, almost unheard of in such a vehicle at the time, and it gave the car performance that could rival many sports cars of the era.

2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black.

A bike so nice, I bought it twice.

My first encounter with a Triumph was in 1978. Fifty years later, they look very much the same.

The fit and finish is second to none.

The engine is happy to roar; it’s happy to purr.

Back roads are comfortable; hard cornering is planted.

It is easy on the eyes. You never get bored looking at the Bonnie.

By far, the most pleasant motorcycle I’ve ever ridden.

Triumph Unveils Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition - Global Brands Magazine

the mindset that i have observed with motorcyclist is that when you start riding you get a lower cc bike and later upgrade which i would say might be similar with cars at first get a cheap old car and eventually buy a newer one and all is well with the logic here but listen once i buy something i'm buying it with an intention of keeping it forever... or like i have this dream bike but before i buy it i should buy something preferably used and with less power but then ill have spent moneys and it will now take me longer to get more money for the one i actually want do you see my problem

More Box Ticking

One of the great things about being a biker is the chance to meet other mature motorcycle men out on the road.

On this occasion, what do we have? Pipe - tick; white beard and moustache - tick; leather gloves - tick; motorcycle (a Triumph , no less - looks like a Bonneville T120, but this close up I could be wrong). The tweed, waistcoat and cravat add a sense of panache and, what do I see on the open-faced helmet? Motorbike goggles (unfortunately, I've managed to break mine).

This man has so many attributes to attract a willing pervert like me. All that's missing is my mouth clamped around his member... I could make you a very satisfied man, my handsome biking friend.
