Based in a small village in the heart of rural Devon, southwest England, Petersen Engineering has forged a name for itself at home and abroad. Here vintage Bentleys are restored, rebuilt and recreated. Traditional hand craft meets new world engineering to build cars that can be used without having to have a team of engineers on hand to get you going.
James visits Petersen Engineering and meets their founder Bob Petersen to discuss how he got started, the cars they build and take a ride in one of their Blower Bentley’s.

I was 8 years old in 1964 when I saw these cars for the 1st time. It was love at first sight!!! This is Fantastic!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸

Bob Peterson indeed builds unique and great cars - but he is not alone. A trip over to Wales and you will find Peris Edwards and his company Racing Green Engineering building equally fantastic Bentleys, Rolls and Alfas. I've owned one of his Speed 6 models for 13 years, based on a MK VI chassis with a Rolls Royce B81 6.5 straight eight it is the most wounderful and usable car - 8MPG hurts a bit though!

I've been fascinated with Blower Bentleys ever since I had a scale model of one as a child. Like nothing else. I am planning on building my own boat tailed roadster but not a large as these. Great fun.

"Corker of a day" When the car influences your vocabulary, love it

Absolutely magnificent

Beautiful cars - engineering and craftsmanship off the charts. Undoubtedly the cost is also off the charts; but that fades away in the context of these hand crafted, bespoke commissions that allow the creation of such pieces of functional art. The small company passion infused, but low key business model of Petersen Engineering is so refreshing! It’s such a pleasant counterpoint to the fast talking corporatized business first / branding focused American juggernaut builders like Singer.

*Wow! - Mine happened to be the **_1000th_** 'Like', how very fitting!!!* Thanks for showing us these absolutely _magnificent_ works of genuine automotive ART!👌

@paulboyle6857 Год назад

Exrtaordinary.I note that at no time was cost mentioned then called to mind the statement "If you have to ask.............."!

@DayTwo-w8n 3 месяца назад

Just appreciate the machine...not it's cost.😊

@SgHawk144 2 года назад

There’s one of these in the lottery garage for sure. A sense of drama and occasion you just can’t match. Throw in the reliability and drivability of these tickled ones and it’s perfect.

@johnmcreynolds5299 2 года назад

wow never seen anything like it amazing man

@aberration3869 3 месяца назад

I just became aware of the original cars these beasts are based on a few days ago by listening to the Casino Royal audiobook and learning that this was the vehicle James Bond owned and drove. Now I’m planning to build a model kit of one, so first the research.

Wow what a thing that is

Belleza elegancia y robustez

@alancrisp1582 2 года назад

Beautiful Bentleys for sure, but totally out of reach for most mere mortals like myself. Never the less, I can still enjoy driving by 25 year old champagne coloured Bentley Brooklands- non turbo version, suits me just fine......

@memomomomomo185 2 года назад

Just wow.

@kjh23gk 2 года назад

Would have been nice to hear the blue one.

I was expecting construction shots. I'm interested to see actual "How a Blower Bentley is Made."

@charliewallace7197 6 месяцев назад

found the pics of the rolls on their FB page - owner did approve the fishtail exhausts!

@jmfangio286 Год назад

Do you switch on the supercharger like the originals, and can you hear the supercharger whine?

@donaldforbes3458 3 месяца назад

On the way to school one morning just after the war, we saw one of these Bentleys plugged in a ditch on a sharp corner on a country road. The story was that a girl had a row with her boyfriend late at night, stormed off in his car and lost control. Never heard whether he forgave her.

@seancockram237 2 года назад

Wonderful..

@diederikklopper3102 Год назад

I believe it was not the strategy of Bentley to unsettle Mercedes with the blowers. W. O. Bentley was against fitting the blower to his cars if I am not mistaken. “There is no replacement for displacement “. Hope the owners of these cars take them out a lot as they seem a lot of fun!

@nomansland4811 Год назад

Is there some kind of partnership with Bentley?

@MikeHarland-m2g 3 месяца назад

Fantastic. But where is the British car industry today? We don’t value engineers. We value the arts.

@abes3925 2 года назад

Doesn’t Jay Leno own one these

@biddlelove2135 2 года назад

These must never ever, ever have an electric motor put in! 😂🇬🇧👍🏁🏁🏁🏁

@HugoTeerds 6 месяцев назад

I would buy one with a modern electric drive train! Nothing like modern technology and comfort in those marvelous classic bodies to look at!

@colinmillikin6292 3 месяца назад

Great cars not so sure about Bob's duck hat

@markchip1 2 года назад

Beautiful! But I'd frankly be terrified to ride in one - no rollover protection at all, exposed petrol tank at the rear.... Not an entirely comforting mix!!

@lanmastersassistant659 2 года назад

They're scary but you get used to it, there is a mind set you must overcome to enjoy something like this though.

@453421abcdefg12345 2 года назад

What a strange person you must be, what about riding a motorcycle, the petrol tank is between your legs, and, shock horror, there are no roll bars!

@philhawley1219 Год назад

No rollover protection, exposed petrol tank? God, that sounds dangerous! I bet you don't ride a motorcycle.

@markchip1 Год назад

@@philhawley1219 -Lol, I did for 14years, GoldStar trained as well!! Maybe THAT is actually the reason for my concerns about safety??

@philhawley1219 Год назад

I've been a full license holder for 40 years and I still ride. It was warm today so I put a few miles on my old Ducati. These old fashioned bikes, like those Bentley s were made to be used.
