British luxury automaker Bentley has partnered with The Little Car Company to bring back the classic 1929 Blower model as a battery-powered vehicle. Remarkably, they successfully built a road-legal named “Bentley Blower Jnr.”
For those unaware, The Little Car Company is a UK-based “expert in hand-building junior cars.”
“We expertly hand-build each car in the UK, and it is this level of care and attention that delivers the stunning quality for which we are famed.”

About the Bentley Blower Jnr
Bentley indicated they reduced the new electric model’s size to 85% of the 1929 Blower. As a result, it now has a length of 3.70 meters and a width of 1.50 meters.
Its weight is also just 550 kilograms. Considering that size, the EV can only carry one passenger behind the driver.
It has a maximum electric output of 15 kW and a top speed of 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) in the EU and Great Britain.
Meanwhile, it will only have an up to 25 mph or 40 km/h top speed in the US due to its more stringent regulations.
“The Bentley Blower Jnr is more than a car. It’s an opportunity to own a piece of history. This exquisite vehicle is not just a tribute to the past, but a beacon for the future 85% scale. 100% Bentley. This 85% scale, reinterpretation of the iconic 1929 Bentley Blower exudes power and luxury while embracing modern sustainability.”
