Absolutely stunning in both presence and execution, this Bentley 4½ Litre Blower represents one of the most celebrated and desirable expressions of British pre-war motoring. Built around a rare and highly sought-after factory specification, it combines formidable mechanical integrity with unmistakable visual presence.

At its heart is the legendary supercharged 4½-litre engine, a configuration forever associated with speed, endurance and defiance. The heavy-crank factory engine, coupled with the correct ‘D’ Type gearbox, delivers the muscular, long-legged performance that made the Blower Bentley such a formidable competition machine. The supercharger, built to correct Villiers specification and fitted with a counterbalanced crankshaft in 1990, has been carefully integrated to preserve both authenticity and reliability.

Recent extensive work by VBE Restorations, including the fitment of brand-new connecting rods, has ensured the engine is exceptionally strong and responsive. The result is a Bentley that feels robust, urgent and entirely in keeping with its reputation, offering the sort of mechanical confidence expected at the very top of the Vintage car world.

The engine-turned dashboard features correct Birkin Blower-type instruments, with seating, trim and controls that reflect the car’s original competition intent. Finished in classic British Racing Green, with period-correct fabric and Connolly leather, the overall presentation is purposeful and imposing rather than decorative.

Historically, few cars carry the same weight as the Bentley Blower. Conceived during the golden age of motorsport, Sir Henry “Tim” Birkin’s supercharged Bentleys were built to challenge the dominance of Mercedes-Benz, pushing the mighty SSKs to their limits and playing a key role in Bentley’s legendary success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This Bentley stands as a celebration of that era and its people. A car defined by ambition, engineering bravery and competition spirit, it offers not simply ownership of a significant motor car, but the opportunity to experience one of the most important chapters in British racing history.
