Delve into the captivating saga of Bentley's quest for power, where engineering brilliance met racing passion. In the early 20th century, the legendary Bentley Blower Team Car #2 roared to life, captivating young fans with its thunderous presence on the Brooklands banking and legendary duel at Le Mans in 1930.

Fast forward to modern times, and this pursuit has evolved, culminating in the creation of the Bentley Blower Jnr - a faithful 85% scale replica inspired by the iconic Blower #2, meticulously handcrafted to capture the essence of its racing ancestor.

This thrilling collaboration between The Little Car Company and Bentley brings racing heritage to the forefront while embracing cutting-edge, zero-emission driving technology.

The Blower’s finest hour arrived in the 1930 French Grand Prix at Pau; amid a field of Bugatti Grand Prix cars, Birkin wrestled the huge Bentley to a heroic 2nd place. At a startline weight of over 2 tonnes, Birkin’s Blower was almost certainly the heaviest car ever entered in a grand prix, a roadgoing tourer among purpose-built racing cars.

Another of Birkin’s Blower Bentleys, registration UU 5871, was converted to a single seater with faired-in radiator for racing on the banked circuit at Brooklands. With the engine now delivering 240bhp, Birkin recorded a lap record at Brooklands of 137.96mph in March 1932, his car often airborne due to the poor quality of the concrete banking.

In the words of engineer and automotive historian Laurence Pomeroy, “the spectacular feats of driving by Birkin, and the magnificent and imposing appearance of these cars, have contributed to give them a heroic and legendary fame.”
