Hedley Studios reveals scale replica of classic Bentley Blower racer

The aluminium dashboard looks like a scaled-down replica of the original. The fuel pressurisation hand pump has been repurposed as the drive mode selector, with a choice of Comfort, Bentley or Sport. Forward, neutral and reverse are selected via a lever that looks like the ignition advance control from the original Bentley Blower. 'Hedley Studios has reimagined a car that sits at the very heart of Bentley's history and heritage, with extraordinary attention to detail and craftsmanship. The Blower Jnr may be smaller in scale, but its presence, performance and sense of occasion invoke the spirit of the original,' says Mike Sayer, head of product communications and the Bentley Heritage Collection for Bentley Motors. The price is about £90,000 (R2.15m).
