Here’s proof that history really does repeat itself.
Jaguar and
Aston Martin might have kicked off the modern trend for ‘continuation’ versions of some of their greatest hits, but
Bentley has taken it to an entirely new level by heading much further back in time.
The
Blower Continuation is a factory-fresh version of a car that was last produced 90 years ago, and one that hasn’t been subjected to any modernisation to make it more civilised. The result is a car you don’t drive so much as engage in hand-to-hand combat with.
While some continuation runs have struggled to sell their full allocations, the limited-to-12 Blower was fully subscribed within weeks of Bentley confirming the project’s existence – despite a £1.5million (AUD$2.7m) ex-works price tag and the fact the cars can’t be road registered in many parts of the world.
