Description
This beautifully constructed recreation of the famous Bentley Old Number One was completed in 2012 by Racing Green Engineering. The legendary Bentley Blower N01 was a racing car developed from the Bentley 4 1/2 litre by Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin to win the Le Mans twenty-four-hour race.
It is built on a MKVI chassis (B370CF) with an ash and tubular steel frame and aluminium coachwork and powered by a B81 8-inline Bentley engine.
The cosmetics (dashboard intruments) have been aged to give the car an appearance in line with the original car from the 1920s.
This example was very well serviced by its careful owner and has already proved itself in some fantastic rallies.
