 This Bentley although originally built in 1923 was rebuilt in it's present form by Bentley Motors in their racing shop at Kingsbury in 1927. Raced from 1923 to 1928 in the form we see her now is probably her most evocative period as the first Blower Bentley.  We know some ill advised people of the matching number brigade will poo poo such a historic car but when a racing car as important as this comes on the market one has to understand that development will change the character and performance of this original car. This means chassis bits engine parts fitting of the supercharger and the fact it was wrecked whilst racing both in 1925 & in 1926, then rebuilt on the present 9 foot chassis in 1927 continuous history is the order of the day.  Now we got that off our partners chest lets talk real Bentley race car. Always known as the little red Bentley and rebuilt to this form for May Cunliff to race in 1927 we have here the first Amherst Villiers supercharged vintage Bentley ever made. (we wonder, is this where Henry Birkin must have got the inspiration to build Blower Bentleys). Fully rebuilt some 14 years ago, rallied, raced and properly enjoyed. Restored by top vintage Bentley experts this is a real performer, tons of papers and history can be viewed at our partners showroom and his enthusiasm for this Bentley just keeps growing.
