Introducing the Matchbox Y2 1930 4.5lt. Super Charged Bentley - a miniature marvel that captures the essence of British sports car history! Step into a world of whimsy and charm as we take you on a journey back in time.
In 1928, the audacious "Tim" Birkin, one of the legendary Bentley boys, had a brilliant idea - supercharging the already impressive 4.5lt Bentley. With the financial support of the Hon. Dorothy Paget, Birkin defied the disapproval of W.O. Bentley himself and brought to life four magnificent supercharged cars in 1929.
Picture this: the year is 1930, and the prestigious Le Mans race is about to commence. Birkin, with his unwavering determination, convinced Woolf Barnato, a major Bentley Motors shareholder, to enter the 4.5lt supercharged beauty in the competition. And boy, did it make an impact!
With a lap record of 6 minutes and 48 seconds, reaching an astonishing speed of 89.696mph on the 10.153-mile circuit, this Bentley left spectators in awe. Although it didn't finish the race, its sheer power and charisma helped Bentley fend off the challenge of the mighty 7lt Mercedes Benz.
