The fact that someones actually willing to allow that Blower Bentley to even be started, let alone driven, and RACED is simply extraordinary. Maximum respect to the owner, the Blower wins just by turning up.

[@melodi_music_official]

bentley themselves own the blower and the other cars so they can afford to race it. a collector would never let this happen

[@wickedmartyn]

@@melodi_music_official its irrelevant in my opinion who owns it or just how much money they have, that car may have a physical price tag, but think of it, that car is over 100 years old, the methods, knowhow and the people capable of making some or most of the parts, by original methods is long gone. If that car crashes, if it loses a body panel, any damage to the engine, anything at all, it will never be the same again. Yes they may have the money, and the modern day equivalent of a fix, but there are parts on that car that are simply irreplaceable. One minor issue and that cars value is irreprepably damaged, it's probably the reason that it's only worth 20m and is now owned by bentley, where its properly cared for. Somethings, money just cant replace, my friend!

[@CaptJofaz]

@@wickedmartyn I'm pretty sure bentley would still have the drawings and even if they didn't they could easily reverse engineer any component that failed. As for know how, anything that could be made 93 years ago could easily be made using modern CNC machining
