Dunlop 1924

A very art deco French Dunlop advertisement of 1924. That year Dunlop had its first Le Mans victory being used by the Bentley 3 Litre chauffeured by Duff & Clement. Nice photos and details about that to be found at the history page of the Bentley Drivers Club. As you may understand tyres used to be a very delicate issue on racing cars. Much more than today. Try to imagine what tyres had to last during a Le Mans event or when in use by mr. Campbell himself.....(www.racingCampbells.com). Illustration by Delarue Nouvallière, collection Hans Horwitz.
