After its appearance at the inaugural Gulf Concours event at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai last weekend, Bentley’s 4 1/2 Litre supercharged Blower was taken for a spin on the streets of Dubai by the carmaker’s brand ambassador Richard Charlesworth. The classic Bentley, which was built in 1930, cost about £1,500 when it was new, but is now insured for £1 million (Dh4.55m). The car was one of just 50 road-going Blowers built to homologate the racing models.
