The car is a 16, or a 20/70 like Pilou said. For reference, RAC horsepower is calculated by measurement of the diameter of the bore only, the length of the stroke is ignored. The 3 litre Bentley was only 15.9 RAC horsepower. The formula is Bore diameter measurement squared, times the number of cylinders, divided by 2.5 if the measurement is in inches, or by 1613 if the measurement is in millimetres.
