The 1929 Bentley 4 1/2 Litre Supercharged at Bonhams 2012 Goodwood sale Bonhams are offering a 1929 Bentley 4 1/2 Litre Supercharged Racing Single-Seater at their Goodwood auction in June. The 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed is only four months away, and one of the highlights will be the Bonhams sale of the car collection of famed watch maker George Daniels, which includes a 1929 Bentley 4 1/2 Litre Supercharged Racing Single-Seater once owned by Tim Birkin in which he set the Brooklands Outer Circuit Lap Record in 1932 at 137mph.
