## Description

The Bentley had already seen proven success in endurance racing, was considered unbeatable in Le Mans from 1927 to 1930. Reluctantly, Bentley supercharged the engine for more horsepower, pressured by Sir Henry Birkin and opened up availability to the public. Although setting many speed records with its 240 horsepower, the upgrade couldn't handle the endurance it had originally dominated.

Review: AIRFIX Bentley blower - Awesome will be fun yo build. Its old school mould so be patient and work up to it if your inexperienced.
Review: Bentley Model Kit - The item came in a timely manner and was in a sealed box. I’ve always loved the old cars and this one reminded me of a 1927 Bentley Blower I was in a car show with. I haven’t started the model yet but it looks like it will be a great build. Looking forward to starting this model.
