Using the original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, and traditional hand tools alongside the latest manufacturing technology, 12 sets of parts will then be created, before assembly. The 12 continuations will be identical wherever possible to the original \u2013 mechanically, aesthetically and spiritually \u2013 with only minimal hidden changes dictated by modern safety concerns. The original car will then be reassembled, with the heritage team taking the opportunity to complete a detailed inspection and sympathetic mechanical restoration where required.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-720650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1785168_3-1929-Team-Blower-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It will take Mulliner approximately two years of meticulous work to complete the 12-car series.

While W.O Bentley\u2019s method was to increase engine capacity \u2013 from 3-litre, to 4\u00bd-litre, to 6\u00bd-litre \u2013 Birkin was impressed by the Roots-type supercharger developed by British engineer Amherst Villiers, which boosted the 4\u00bd\u2019s power from 130 bhp to 240 bhp in race tune. He persuaded Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato to sanction production of 55 supercharged 4\u00bd-litre Bentleys, with five allocated for competition. The car on Bentley\u2019s heritage fleet &#8211; UU 5872 &#8211; is the second of the four \u2018Team\u2019 cars developed at Birkin &amp; Co\u2019s workshops at Welwyn Garden City with funding from wealthy heiress the Hon.
