Bentley MotorsWe've partnered with The Little Car Company, the world leader in hand-built junior cars, to create an 85% scaled reimagination of the historic Bentley Blower.
The Bentley Blower Junior is so much more than a tribute to the 1929 record-breaking original. It’s the proud continuation of a heritage that stretches back over 100 years.
Impeccably hand-built, it features components of the highest quality, including a carbon fibre body, aluminium bonnet and chrome-plated radiator cover.
Fully road legal, powered by a 48-volt powertrain with a 15KW (20 (bhp) motor, this is a car that can reach top speeds of 45mph in the UK and EU with an expected range of up to 65 miles.
The lightweight design and carefully chosen materials combine with a range of cutting-edge technology inside – with the iconic supercharger of the original repurposed as a charging port. So, while the Bentley Blower is a look back at our past, the Bentley Blower Junior most definitely faces our future.

The team has used a combination of fine craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to digitise the special Coronation Emblem before creating each bespoke cushion by hand.
Three full days and four iterations of embroidery processing were required to achieve our exacting quality standards, with nearly 30,000 stitches in each emblem needing careful refinement. The emblem consists of two separate thread colours in three different colourways to match the interiors of the Bentleys that will use them.
The colour combinations for the cushions have been matched to the individual specifications of two Bentayga EWBs and two Bentayga Hybrid in time for this weekend’s coronation celebrations. The cushions will remain with Bentley’s press cars for a time and are not available for purchase.

At the time of its launch, Mulsanne Speed was the most powerful four-door car in the world. It featured immense torque, thanks to a more enhanced version of Bentley’s mighty 6¾-litre twin-turbo V8 engine generating 530 bhp at 4,000 rpm and 1,100 Nm of torque: the highest torque of any four-door luxury car. It accelerated effortlessly from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds (0‑100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and reached a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h).
Offering a sporting take on luxury, its rifled stainless steel tailpipes, unique 21” wheels, dark tint brightware and ‘Speed’ fender badges all added to its powerful road presence. A series of assertive styling features included a dark tint finish applied to the exterior brightware, including matrix grilles, bumper, radiator grille and 'B' wing vents. The dark tint extended to both front and rear lights. 21” Speed alloy wheels, with a dark-tint option, were Bentley's first-ever directional style wheel.
Mulsanne Speed also included interior features that further highlighted its sporting abilities. These included diamond-quilted seats and door pads, knurled gear lever and drilled alloy sports pedals. A striking sports interior colour split with perforated hide also ensure the Speed's unique place in the Mulsanne family.

Since 1919, we are producing extraordinary cars with the finest materials and the most exceptional craftspeople. To further that legacy, we worked with The Shoe Surgeon, a creative collective founded by Dominic Ciambrone, to create a limited-edition line of #Bentley-inspired sneakers.
#Bentley #TheShoeSurgeonJoin Shmee150 and Discover the Bentley Blower Continuation SeriesBentley Motors2023-01-04 | Join @Shmee150 and experience how we are recreating a legend.
In 2020, Mulliner Classic embarked on the first project in its Continuation Series. By combining the latest digital technology with time-honoured craft techniques, the team created a prototype of the first new Bentley Blower for close to 90 years – followed by a dozen new cars.
The team began work in earnest by sympathetically and carefully dismantling a priceless 1929 Bentley Team Blower. The aim was to catalogue and digitally scan each individual component, to create a complete digital model of this legendary car that could then be used as a blueprint for the new cars.
Yet even after creating their digital catalogue and, crucially, restoring the Team Blower to its original state, significant challenges remained – starting with the availability of parts. Components for a car built in the Roaring Twenties can’t just be ordered online, after all.
The team therefore made almost every part from scratch, in many cases using the original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, to ensure they matched those in the original car exactly. They then assembled the first new coachbuilt Bentley Blowers to be built since the era of the Bentley Boys.
As direct descendants of the original Team Blower, each of the new Continuation Series cars featured four-cylinder, 16-valve engines with an aluminium crankcase, cast iron cylinder liners and non-detachable cast-iron cylinder heads. The all-important supercharger, meanwhile, is an exact replica of the Amherst Villiers Mk IV roots-type supercharger, helping the 4,398 cc engine to develop 240 bhp at 4,200 rpm.

The Heritage Garage will house the 22 most historically significant Bentley models, currently spread from 1919 onwards but eventually focusing on those members of the fleet built in Crewe – everything from 1946 onwards.
The new facility means that every member of Bentley’s Heritage Collection is now kept on the Bentley campus, for the first time ever. The Collection has undergone a significant development and expansion programme over the last 18 months, and now represents the entire company's history.
