Blower reborn as a tiny urban EV

Bentley and miniature vehicle specialist The Little Car Company (LCC) have partnered to B create an 85%-scale electric replica of the fabled Bentley Blower from 1929, to be sold as a road-legal, ultra-luxurious rival to the Citroën Ami.

The Blower Junior has been developed by LCC with full technical support from Bentley and is the first road-legal car to be produced by the Bicester-based firm.

It has been developed with extensive access to Bentley's heritage-fleet Blower Team Car No 2, and an initial run of 99 First Edition examples will be specified to match that model, with the same colour scheme, Union Flag motifs, doorplates and other details.
