Manufacturer description

Our 1:76 scale model of the 1927 Bentley 4 ½ litre car is a replica of the vehicle which W O Bentley developed on a sports car chassis. However, the supercharged vehicle known as the Bentley Blower was the result of some tinkering by one of his 'Bentley Boys' who saw the potential of a more powerful engine suitable for racing. Despite protests from W O Bentley himself, the Bentley Blower saw great success on the race track, although of the 740 Bentley 4 ½ litre cars made, only 50 were converted to the souped up Blower status.

Here we see the Bentley in its signature British Racing Green but without a race number on it. Instead it sports a patriotic Union Flag on both doors. With a folded down windscreen, it features a black tonneau cover and dark green seats. Further detail includes tan leather bonnet straps and a silver dashboard with black dials.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Bentley Blower British Racing Green is a 1:76 scale replica of the 1927 Bentley 4½ litre car, model number 76BB003. The vehicle was originally developed by W O Bentley on a sports‑car chassis and later supercharged by a member of the Bentley Boys, creating the Bentley Blower. Of the 740 Bentley 4½ litre cars produced, only 50 were converted to the supercharged specification.

The model is presented in the traditional British Racing Green, without a race number, but with a Union Flag on each door. It features a folded‑down windscreen, black tonneau cover, dark green seats, tan leather bonnet straps and a silver dashboard with black dials. The detail aims to reflect the period style associated with British Railways Early Crest.
