An all-electric window into driving during the early 20th century is now available, thanks to Bentley and The Little Car Company.
teamed up to make a driveable replica of the original Bentley Team Car from 1929. And it's fully road legal, in contrast to prior replicas from The Little Car Company.
Before any concours judges blow a head gasket, it's worth noting this scaled model gets as close to the real deal as possible. With a painted steel frame, leaf springs, and scaled-down, period-correct friction dampers, the 85% scale versions should ride just like a 1929 Bentley did. Which is to say terrible by modern standards, but cool nonetheless.
But the body construction is really the hero here, as building a modern version by century-old standards isn't exactly straightforward."The bodywork is crafted in two sections, and while the rear body structure is crafted in carbon fiber rather than being an ash frame, it's covered in impregnated fabric, just as the original," the release reads.
Like a Piper Cub or an instructional fighter jet, the cockpit is set up with a 1+1 configuration, meaning the passenger sits directly behind the driver. Additionally, the dashboard is a scaled-down replica of the original, with the fuel pressure pump repurposed as the drive mode selector. Comfort , Bentley , or Sport are your three mode options.Some examples of modernity were a necessity, such as the former open-air engine display being used as a charging port now.

Neither company has yet to reveal the price for these unique vehicles.Emmet WhiteA New York transplant hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Emmet White has a passion for anything that goes: cars, bicycles, planes, and motorcycles.
