The Bentley 4-1/2 Litre is a British luxury car that was produced between 1927 and 1931. It was known for its speed and power, and became a popular vehicle for the wealthy during the 1920s. In this episode, Wayne meets with the owner of the Bentley, who has had it for over 50 years and has never considered selling it until now.

The owner tells Wayne that the Bentley is in need of some serious restoration, but Wayne sees the potential in the car and decides to take on the challenge. He makes an offer to buy the Bentley and the owner agrees to sell it to him.

Wayne and his team work tirelessly to restore the Bentley to its former glory. They start by disassembling the car and taking inventory of all the parts. They then begin the painstaking process of cleaning, polishing and repairing each part, making sure to preserve as much of the original car as possible.
