EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Henry Birken, the dashing British racing driver, is seen taking a refreshing break during the grueling 1931 French Grand Prix at Pau. Sitting in the cockpit of his powerful 4.5-litre, four cylinder, 240 hp supercharged Bentley, Sir Henry had driven himself and his four-seater sports car into an impressive second place finish. Weighing in at a hefty two tons, the Bentley was a force to be reckoned with on the winding roads of Pau's Grand Prix circuit. The race, held on June 28, 1931, saw Sir Henry averaging an impressive 88.8 mph for a total of 247 miles. His determination and skill behind the wheel paid off, as he narrowly missed taking the checkered flag in this prestigious event. In this candid moment, Sir Henry takes a brief respite from the intense competition, reaching for an orange to rejuvenate himself. The orange, a simple yet effective way to quench his thirst and regain his energy, is a stark contrast to the raw power and speed of the Bentley behind him. Sir Henry's success in the 1931 French Grand Prix at Pau solidified his reputation as a formidable racing driver and showcased the prowess of the Bentley sports car. This image offers a glimpse into the thrilling world of Grand Prix racing during the Roaring Twenties and Thirties.
