Bentley and The Little Car Company have unveiled an 85% homologated reproduction of the world’s most famous pre-war (1929) Bentley: the ‘Blower’, better known as the 4½ Liter Bentley. The “Blower Junior” is the first car approved for the road by The Little Car Company, a company known for having also created Bugatti and Aston Martin miniatures, so that children can do like their wealthy parents.

For adults

Approved in the United Kingdom but also for Europe and the USA, this 85% scale reproduction features a 20 hp electric motor, capable of climbing to 72 km/h with a range of 104 km. With 3.7 m long and 1.5 m wide, this Bentley Blower Junior can carry 2 adults and their luggage.

Initially, it will be produced in a limited “First Edition” series of 99 copies, for an as yet unknown price. But this should be, unsurprisingly, much higher than that of the Citroën Ami, which costs less than 8,000 euros…
