The 4.5 liter Blower Bentley was Henry Birkin’s highbred. Blessed with the admiration of Marque enthusiasts, it was not so for Walter Owen Bentley. Let’s just say he considered supercharging beneath the dignity of his normally aspirated engine’s mechanical perfection. With the financial backing of Lady Dorothy Paget, Birkin convinced W.O. to go into limited production, very limited. The signature of its character was geared to the front of the big four, and on display beneath rounded radiator in all its alloy casting and detail. And the odds makers noticed. Built to those unquestionable Bentley standards and with speed to spare, it was handicapped beyond many a victory. Time has had it revenge. The sound of a well paced Blower Bentley has attracted attention to the Marque and the admiration of motor enthusiasts of all stripe for generations.
