The 1920s were a time of excitement and excess, marked by flappers, jazz musicians and the Bentley Boys, a group of well-heeled aristocrat racers driving a Bentley Blower to wins all across Europe. One of the original 55 Blowers go for many millions of dollars the rare times they are offered for sale, making it too valuable for a run to Whole Foods. The Bentley Blower Junior provides a similar experience in a more attainable, practical package. While the real Blower is a bit of a beast, much too large for tight parking garages, and powered by a supercharged 4-cylinder, 4.5-liter engine, the two-passenger Junior is an 85% scale replica, with the passenger, or groceries, seated directly behind the driver, propelled by a 20-hp electric motor. The street-legal Junior, has a top speed of 45-mph, making it an ideal choice for in-city use; BentleyMotors.com.
