90 years after the last new Bentley Blower, Bentley Mulliner is now producing new examples of this roadworthy racing car. This Continuation Series is the world’s first of a pre-war sports car. The pre-series vehicle ‘Car Zero’ has now been completed. Its development and construction took about 40,000 working hours. Old construction drawings were studied and evaluated, original production tools were revived. Until 1930 Bentley produced only four original Blowers. One of them is still owned by the factory today. Chassis number HB3403 now served as an additional model for the beginning Continuation Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intensive preparation for the Continuation Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fact that this car has been extensively restored helped in this. So it was possible to capture every important component with a 3D scanner. These parts were put together to a CAD model. In this way, 1,846 individual parts were identified, which had to be newly constructed by hand. 230 of these are assembled assemblies, such as the engine, so that the total number of parts is significantly higher. Bentley Mulliner engineers, craftsmen and technicians formed a permanent project team for the Continuation Series and called in external experts. In some cases, production methods from the 1920s had to be relearned.<\/p>\n\n\n
