Luxury car maker Bentley has hooked up with a Welsh trailer business to transport a superstar of vintage racing.

The exclusive marque turned to Ifor Williams Trailers (IWT) to carry an immaculately preserved Bentley Speed Six.

It was towed on IWT’s CT177 transporter trailer by one of the premium manufacturer’s modern day flagships, a Bentayga Extended Wheelbase.

The trailer, according to Bentley, was the perfect platform to showcase two generations of their vehicles in the run-up to this year’s Goodwood Revival festival near Chichester.

The spectacle was filmed and posted on social media hours before the gates opened on the vintage motor-racing celebration.

Harry Cooklin of Bentley Motors said: "We have partnered with Ifor Williams Trailers on a previous occasion and we know well the quality and robustness of their trailer designs. They are a highly reputable family firm with a very similar commitment and dedication to quality as Bentley Motors.

"I even had the pleasure of driving the Bentayga towing the CT177 trailer down from Cheshire to Chichester. It drove like a dream; and with the Bentayga Azure’s powerful V8 engine we had a great towing experience – which truly sets a new capability benchmark in the world of luxury SUVs."

Ifor Williams Trailers sales manager Lois Wynne said: "We are proud to have supported Bentley Motors in transporting the classic Bentley Speed Six at the iconic Goodwood Revival with one of our CT177 car transporter trailers towed by the stunning Bentayga.

"This revival event celebrates the golden era of motorsport, bringing together legendary cars, vintage style, and racing heritage.

"We’re honoured to have played a part in showcasing such an iconic piece of history at one of the most anticipated classic car events of the year."

Cooklin added: "With the ongoing production of the limited run Speed Six Continuation Series, and other exciting projects in the pipeline, we anticipate we will be working with the Ifor Williams team again in the near future."

Ifor Williams has factories in Denbighshire and Deeside.
