You might think Bentley is pretty staid and very British, but they don't mind doing things for the sake of style or just because it's cool. When they ran (and won!) at Le Mans, the drivers wore all-white suits that mimicked those worn by Bentley boys back in the 1920s. And now members of Bentley's apprenticeship programme have restored the historic engine as part of the company's centenary celebrations...<\/p>\n<p>And what is this beast of an engine?!<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, just look at it. It's big and square and looks like something you'd see driving an RMS Titanic, not a car. Yes, I know, given the weight and size of the old Bentleys, there's some joke here, but I'll let it drop.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/programma-uchenikov-bentley-vosstanavlivaet-revushhij-dvigatel-20-h-godov\/#%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE_%D0%90%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BE_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B7%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%89%D1%8C\" >Quite Audio\/Visual Assist<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/programma-uchenikov-bentley-vosstanavlivaet-revushhij-dvigatel-20-h-godov\/#%D0%98%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_212\" >History of the 212 engine<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/programma-uchenikov-bentley-vosstanavlivaet-revushhij-dvigatel-20-h-godov\/#%D0%A7%D1%82%D0%BE_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%91%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%B8\" >What did Bentley's pupils do<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/programma-uchenikov-bentley-vosstanavlivaet-revushhij-dvigatel-20-h-godov\/#%D0%A7%D1%82%D0%BE_%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2_Bentley\" >What is the Bentley Apprentice Programme?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE_%D0%90%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BE_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B7%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%89%D1%8C\"><\/span>Quite Audio\/Visual Assist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is Engine No. 212, and while its early history is a bit vague, we do know that this engine belonged to the Royal School of Artillery Corps for over 70 years. Yeah, I know, it's weird. I mean what did a bunch of gunners do.  Somehow it ended up in the hands of the Royal School of Artillery Corps at Bovington, Dorset in 1935. The Royal Artillery Corps used it as a teaching aid to teach students the principles of the internal combustion engine....<\/p>\n<p>Quite an audio\/video aid.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/automotive-history\/445555718.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">Members of Bentley's apprenticeship programme restored a historic engine as part of the company's centenary celebrations.

The mill was taken apart into its individual components, reassembled and then attached to a purpose-built base for the Centenary Exhibition at Bentley's HQ in Crewe. The gang doing this makeover are a group of apprentice drivers working at Bentley Motors. They spent 700 hours on the beast. To put that into perspective, that's 17 and a half weeks of work if it was just about turning spanners alone.<\/p>\n<p>Engine No. 212 was originally built in 1923, just four years after W.O. Bentley founded the company. So think of it as Ford doing a full factory rebuild of the Model T engine with a group of Vo-Tech students from Detroit. Nice move guys!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/automotive-history\/445555718_36.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"> Bentley offers a wide range of apprenticeship programmes, from engineering to finance.

Parts were photographed, packaged, numbered, catalogued and then registered on the computer to facilitate re-assembly. All parts were cleaned and stripped of old paint. The engine was then repainted in the colours used by the Royal School of Artillery Corps as recognition of their part of the engine's history.

(Yes, I wonder what it's like to be a bean counter at Bentley?). Bentley currently has more than 130 apprentices. They are all three or four year programmes that allow an individual to develop a balance of automotive skills and qualifications. The apprentices have managed this whole engine rebuilding project themselves, including planning, budgeting and risk assessment...<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041d\u0443, \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0434\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u043a\u0440\u0443\u0442\u043e. \u0412\u044b \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0443\u043c\u0430\u0442\u044c, \u0447\u0442\u043e Bentley \u0434\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u0443\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d \u0438 \u043e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u044c \u0431\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0446, \u043d\u043e \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432 \u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e, \u0447\u0442\u043e\u0431\u044b \u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0447\u0442\u043e-\u0442\u043e \u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0438\u043b\u044f \u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0442\u043e\u043c\u0443, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e \u043a\u0440\u0443\u0442\u043e. \u041a\u043e\u0433\u0434\u0430 \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0431\u0435\u0436\u0430\u043b\u0438 (\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0431\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0438!) \u0412 \u041b\u0435-\u041c\u0430\u043d\u0435, \u0432\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438 \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0438 \u0432 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c\u044e \u0431\u0435\u043b\u044b\u0445 \u043a\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044e\u043c\u0430\u0445, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u0438\u043c\u0438\u0442\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0442\u0435, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u043d\u043e\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043c\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0447\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u0411\u0435\u043d\u0442\u043b\u0438 \u0435\u0449\u0435 \u0432 1920-\u0445 \u0433\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0445. \u0418 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":495,"featured_media":5664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3621],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-automotive-history"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/495"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogavto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
