As there are some skilled engineers and Porsche owner/restorers shooting the breeze on here, I thought there may be some interest in what these guys in the link below recreate... I think I had the privilege of seeing one up close a number of years back at a classic car show on the Island of Bute. I have some pics taken at the time if there is any interest...?

While at the Bute event I heard the tut, tut brigade comment that the Blower Bentley was not the "real thing", which caused me a measure of confusion at the time as it did look brand new, straight out of box and perfect.
I suspect the price of paying for that level of engineering craftsmanship would be considerable. however it seems Bentley themselves are about to "recreate" a number of LM style Blowers, and I suspect they too will be somewhat expensive...?
Think from a dull memory Porsche have also recreated one or two cars long out of production, though perhaps not quite as long out of production.. (-:
