UK engineering and design firm RML Group is reimagining the Ferrari 250 SWB with modern-day niceties such as Apple CarPlay, electric seats, and a hi-fi stereo system.

This 550 Maranello-based homage to the Ferrari 250 GT SWB is on the home stretch and will be finished this year.

With a V12 engine, manual gearbox and classic curves, the RML Short Wheelbase certainly gets the basics right. We visit the team behind it.

Here’s proof that history really does repeat itself. Jaguar and Aston Martin might have kicked off the modern trend for ‘continuation’ versions of some of their greatest hits, but Bentley has taken it to an entirely new level by heading much further back in time. The Blower Continuation is a factory-fresh version of a car that was last produced 90 years ago, and one that hasn’t been subjected to any modernisation to make it more civilised. The result is a car you don’t drive so mu...

2021 Bentley Blower Continuation Revives Bentleys Past Bentley builds a supercharged time machine with a modern recreation of its legendary 1930 race car.

Leather abounds elsewhere, as you’d expect, while someone has even gone to the effort of counting how many stitches make up ...

Trending The original car hit the hammer at a historic auction in 2012 where it was sold for an eye-watering £5million by Bonhams. Between 2019 and 2020 Bentley scanned all 630 components of the Blower to create a series of brand new models. A complete CAD model was produced with specialists recruited to put all the pieces together.
