Bentley 4\u00bd Litre Supercharged Team Car #2<\/h2>\n

No pre-war Bentley had an impact like the 4\u00bd Litre \u2018Blower\u2019 Bentley. Its thunderous performance thrilled thousands – including author Ian Fleming, who later gave fictional hero James Bond a supercharged 4\u00bd Litre Bentley.<\/p>\n

UU 5872 was driven by Bentley Boy Henry (Tim) Birkin at Le Mans in 1930.<\/p>\n

The Blower<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As racing speeds increased in the late 1920s, W.O. Bentley\u2019s answer was to increase engine capacity. But Birkin was impressed by engineer Amherst Villiers and the success he\u2019d enjoyed with supercharging. He persuaded Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato to approve the production of 54 supercharged 4\u00bd Litre Bentleys, with four allocated for competition.<\/p>\n

Competition Debut of Team Car #2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

UU 5872 is the second of the four team cars developed at Birkin & Co\u2019s workshops at Welwyn Garden City with sponsorship from heiress the Hon. Dorothy Paget. It made its debut at the 1930 Irish Grand Prix with Bernard Rubin at the wheel, finishing eighth.<\/p>\n

Rubin also drove UU 5872 at the Ulster TT in August 1929, where he rolled the car. Following Rubin\u2019s crash, UU 5872 was rebuilt with a new, 9\u20199\u201d chassis and Vanden Plas bodywork for the Brooklands Double Twelve in May 1930. Tim Birkin and Jean Chassagne shared the driving until a cracked chassis frame forced their retirement.<\/p>\n

The 1930 Le Mans Duel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the 1930 Le Mans, Mercedes entered the formidable 7-litre supercharged SSK, driven by Rudi Caracciola and Christian Werner. Facing them was Bentley Motors works team of three Speed Sixes. Birkin\u2019s team entered three Blowers, led by Birkin in Team Car No.2.<\/p>\n

The pace was frenetic. Famously, Birkin passed Caracciola\u2019s Mercedes SSK down the Hunaudi\u00e8res straight with two wheels on the grass – and a bald rear tyre. Somehow, Birkin stayed in front for an entire lap before pulling into the pits.<\/p>\n

Neither the Mercedes nor Birkin made it to the finish. Caracciola\u2019s Mercedes retired first, with water pouring from the engine, while the No.2 Team Car dropped a valve with four hours to go. Barnato and Kidston took the chequered flag in the works Bentley Speed Six.<\/p>\n

Brooklands Swansong<\/strong><\/h3>\n

UU 5872\u2019s swansong was the Brooklands 500 handicap race in October 1930, when Dr \u2018Benjy\u2019 Benjafield and Eddie Hall drove it to second place on handicap at an average speed of 112.12 mph. By May 1931 UU 5872 and the other remaining Birkin team Blowers were advertised for sale in Motor Sport, each guaranteed to attain 125mph in racing trim.<\/p>\n

UU 5872 Today<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The No.2 Team Car was sympathetically restored in the 1960s, preserving its original patina. Owned by Bentley Motors since 2000, it has competed in the modern Mille Miglia, has driven from Crewe to Le Mans on many occasions and has appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance.<\/p>\n

In 2019 \u2013 the centenary of Bentley Motors \u2013 the company announced it would be creating a continuation series of 12 Bentley Blowers, using laser-scanned 3D CAD data taken from the No. 2 Team Car.<\/p>\n
