Sir Frederick Henry Royce was co-founder of Rolls Royce who built the supercharged Merlin engine which was used in, among other applications, the spitfire. While Royce died in 1933 the Merlin engine was derived from air race engines designed by him. Rolls Royce bought Bentley in the 30s as well...

I call foul. Mitchell designed the Spitfire and threw the Merlin in. It was his idea to use a PV-XII in the Spitfire, not Royce's.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Nah. I'm looking for the name of the driver that convinced a wealthy lady friend to finance the addition of a supercharger to his Bentley.
Strictly speaking the blower Bently didn't win at Le Mans, but it was so quick that the Mercs expired as well, allowing a normally aspirated version to win...
Additional clue - he wasn't known by his first name, and if you read Mikkel's link he does get a mention.
**Edit**
Hopefully that gives you enough that you can be certain when you do get it - I'll be back tomorrow morning.
