Classic Bentley with Louis Vuitton luggage goes on sale

Updated


When is your 1931 8 Litre Bentley with a strong racing and record breaking background not quite what you want it to be? Probably when it doesn't include some designer Louis Vuitton luggage. Luckily for any prospective buyer, this 1931 8 Litre Bentley comes with just that.

This particular car holds three Brighton Speed Trial records, but despite this features vintage mint condition Louis Vuitton luggage cases made to fit on the rack at the back. A reflection of the priorities of customers, racers and manufacturers alike in what was an infinitely classy era in the history of the fast motorcar, this car was clearly a machine for the gentleman racer who in-between road course record setting sessions would like to tour in comfort.
