Bentley Motors will compete in this years Mille Miglia with two unique 4  litre Supercharged Blowers; a 1930 Le Mans race car belonging to perhaps the most famous and daring of the Bentley Boys... and an Original Bentley Motors company demonstrator that is still going strong even after nine decades on the road completes teamThe No. 2 Team Car raced at Le Mans by Captain Tim Birkin was brought by Bentley Motors in 2000 and has been regularly campaigned across the world by the company ever since. Richard Charlesworth, Bentleys Director of Royal and VIP Relations, who has helped prepare the car for its third Mille Miglia challenge at Bentleys Crewe headquarters, explains:This is a fantastic car to drive and remains extremely rapid as well. We take great pride in making sure all the cars Bentley owns continue to regularly compete or run and are not museum exhibits, which is very much the Bentley way, and we are all looking forward to the unique Mille Miglia experience.The car is perhaps best known for its epic duel with a 7 litre Kompressor Mercedes (also supercharged) at Le Mans in 1930 with Birkin putting his off-side wheels on the grass as he completed a typically daring pass of his Mercedes opponent Rudolf Caracciola at 120mph. The Blower immediately threw one of its rear tyre treads, but somehow Birkin carried on to set the fastest lap. Sadly Birkins campaign ended after 82 laps but the immense pressure he applied to the Mercedes is wildly credited with assisting his fellow Bentley Boys Woolf Barnato and Glenn Kidston to win the race in their Bentley Speed Six.The second Bentley Blower to take-on Mille Miglia was completed in 1930 and is fitted with a beautiful Vanden Plas Open, Sports Four Seater body. It was owned by Bentley Motors as a customer demonstrator car before passing into private ownership. An early review praised it as "a car with the strongest possible individuality and it is certain that it is immensely likeable no matter what angle one may regard it".Repurchased by Bentley Motors in 1997, the car continues to turn heads at Bentley customer events across the world and is still faithfully fulfilling demonstration rides well into its ninth decade.There are currently over 100,000 miles on this elegant Blower Bentley but were certain it has completed many more than this, comments Richard Charlesworth.However, everyone at Bentley is confident the car will run for many, many years to come and will complete the 1,000 mile round-trip to and from Brescia.
