Bentley 4 ½ Litre Blower from 1929 is one of the most famous models in the history of the British brand. Who would have thought that 90 years later it would return to production. Legendary Bentley from the 30s returns to production

Bentley will assemble 12 exact copies of the Blower with a tourer body. For reference: in 1929, 55 cars were produced. Interestingly, one of the original Bentley Blowers was disassembled down to the screws, all parts were scanned, and a 3D model of the car was created.

All cars retained their leaf spring suspension, drum brakes, and a powerful steel frame. The inline 4.5-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine develops 240 hp at 4200 rpm – the same as the racing version of the original Blower. The maximum speed is 209 km/h. recreated Aston Martins, for instance, cost millions. Although the original is still much more expensive.

By the way, for those who don’t know, in the book, James Bond had this very Bentley.
