NEW BENTLEY BLOWER JUNIOR REVIEW // VINTAGE AESTHETIC CITY CAR (THAT'S NOT A CAR)

EV Channels Review

The Bentley Blower Junior is presented not as a car, but as a street-legal quadricycle, a hand-built, scaled-down homage to the 1920s Bentley Blower. Endorsed by Bentley, it's produced by Hedley Studios (formerly The Little Car Company). While not a Bentley-made vehicle, it captures the vintage aesthetic with impressive craftsmanship, featuring authentic-looking details like wire wheels and a radiator grille, albeit with modern LED lighting and disc brakes. The reviewer highlights its charming, albeit impractical, nature, noting a limited range of approximately 60 miles and a top speed capped at 45 mph, making it strictly an urban or fair-weather vehicle. Positives include its unique aesthetic, surprising handling on its block-tread tires, comfortable seating, and the joy it brings to onlookers. Criticisms are minimal, focusing on the mandatory EV noise, the desire for it to be even smaller, and the potential need for a roll hoop for aesthetic balance. Ultimately, it's deemed a fun, albeit expensive (around £100,000), novelty for collectors or those with disposable income seeking a unique driving experience, potentially serving as an 'gateway drug' to appreciating vintage cars.
