Bentley Motors and The Little Car Company have unveiled a new Blower Jnr.
An 85% scale recreation of the most famous Bentley in the world, the Blower Jnr is the first road-legal car from The Little Car Company, and is additionally said to be its most sophisticated junior car yet.
Built in collaboration with Bentley Motors, the Blower Jnr is said to take reference from Bentley's original Team Car from 1929 - the same car that was used as a reference for the Blower Continuation Series.
The Blower Jnr comes with a painted steel frame, to which an authentic chassis specification is attached. Leaf springs and scaled-down, period-correct friction dampers are utilised to deliver a comfortable ride, while Brembo disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear provide stopping power.
The junior car also comes with bodywork that is crafted in two sections. The rear is made from carbon fibre rather than an ash frame, while at the front, the bonnet is made from hand-crafted aluminium, complete with leather buckled bonnet straps. Ahead of this bonnet sits a 'supercharger' which now serves as a charging port, while the car also gets a Bentley mesh grille in an authentic nickel-plated radiator housing.
The car also comes with an optional bespoke weekend bag that fits into its scaled down and repurposed fuel tank.
In the cabin, the Blower Jnr gets its 'fuel pressure pump switch' repurposed into the drive mode selector, while switching between forward, neutral and reverse is done by the lever that is originally the ignition advance control on the original Bentley Blower.
The Little Car Company Blower Jnr gets a 20bhp electric motor that allows it to reach a top speed of 72km/h in the U.K. and European Union, although it is restricted to just 40km/h in the U.S.A.
The first 99 examples of the Blower Jnr will be built as First Edition models that will come finished in Blower Green, with a Union flag painted on both sides of its body, as well as Dark Green Lustrana Hide on its seats - the same material utilised by Mulliner for the Blower Continuation Series. The First Edition cars also come with a period-correct racing number on the side panel and radiator, while the car's steering wheel is rope-bound.
