It is the first time Bentley has looked to its hero models from the past and made a continuation version, joining a trend made popular by companies like Aston Martin (the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation will be at the 2019 Revival), Jaguar and Lister. Bentley, along with recent continuation convert Alvis, are the only firms to offer a pre-war continuation model.

What else could a reborn Bentley be but a Blower? And in particular one of the four Team Blowers made for Birkin to show that supercharged power could dominate the great endurance races of the 1930s, something it never actually achieved (the unsuperchaged Bentley Speed Six won Le Mans in 1930).
