W hat would make owning a legendary Bentley heritage car from the 1920s even better? Having one that not only gives you ultra-modern performance, but is quite possibly the most sophisticated city car ever built. If this sounds like a dream come true, then you’ll be very happy to learn that Bentley Motors and The Little Car Company have collaborated on a fully road-legal, 85% scale recreation of the most famous Bentley in the world. Say hello to ‘Blower Jnr’, an up-to-the-minute version of the 1929 4½-litre Supercharged Team Car No. 2 in Bentley’s Heritage Collection. Crafted by hand to the same standards as any Bentley, and adorned with beautiful details all inspired by the original Team car, Blower Jnr is built around a 48V electric powertrain with a 15 kW (20 bhp) motor, meaning a top speed of 45 mph / 72 km/h in the UK and EU (25 mph / 40 km/h in the USA due to legislation; it will be classed as a Neighbourhood Electric Vehicle) and an expected range of around 65 miles, with tandem seating for two adults. So while it’s not built for speed on the open highway, it’s bound to be the most fun and stylish way to get around town. Safe to say, heads will turn. Simply Abu Dhabi | 143
