Gentleman`s Journal – Summer ’23

[Reading time – 3 minutes]

Dear Belrose Classics friends,

The weather forecast is finally looking better and we’re getting ready for a great second half of Summer. We added some new arrivals to our website while we’re counting down to another sold-out Bentley Boys Tour less than one month from now. It’s with great pleasure that we’re updating you on our plans and we look forward to share these moments with all of you. 

Bentley Boys Tour – Belrose goes Goodwood
The 2023 edition of our Bentley Boys Tour is rapidly approaching. In less than four weeks from now, we’re rallying towards Bentley’s home turf. This 5-day rally towards England will be completed with no less than 23 classic Bentley’s, all ready to step in the legendary Bentley Boys’ footsteps.
The first leg takes us from Knokke to Brooklands, the heart of British Motor Racing History. Bentley is one of the many brands that wrote history on this challenging racetrack that is now the home of Great Britain’s most unique automotive museum. 
After a visit at Brooklands, we’re discovering the stunning South Downs park, the Heritage coast and some southern islands. This trip comes to an end with a full day at the Goodwood Revival in one of their trackside hospitality venues. We’re already counting down towards our departure date. See you on the road!

Shmee150 approved
World’s most famous automotive YouTuber Shmee150 brought us visit last month. We had a lovely chat with him and he really liked our Belrose Bentley Specials and told us he would love to add one to his collection. Thanks for sharing your time with us with over 2.5 million fans worldwide! 

Pure dead brilliant. 
Last month, we were discovering the Scottish Highlands and as the Scots would say, it's “pure dead brilliant oot hir”. From Loch Lomond to Glasgow and all the way up to Applecross which is often called “the end of the world”. Being behind the wheel of our Bentley Specials only adds up to the experience. 

Cento Miglia

On August 27th, we’re participating in the Cento Miglia, an event for exclusive sports and classic cars. We’re a proud partner during this local event for charity.
