One of the coolest things about riding along with Jonny, is that we have no clue what the vehicle will be. The variety is always interesting, but the ENTHUSIASM keeps us coming back. I hope Jonny loves doing these as much as we love watching... 🎉
And you know, I had one of those in the sixties. Fanny and I would often go down the A1, with Fanny screaming loudly in my ear to go faster and drive it harder and harder. Sometimes Fannie’s scarf would get entangled in the wheels and choke her until she was blue, and you know what, I bloody well drove it harder and harder. Different times, different times.
Jonny repeatedly saying “Bentley” in ever more wierd ways is surely the best intro to any video ever. And then it got better. This is the most fun and interesting automotive channel out there. Brilliant!
My first thought was “OMG - this is too freakin’ cool!” My second thought was “How the hell can people walk past this going down the street and not at least turn and stare?” Thanks Johnny!
This is exactly what is needed in the EV world, fun small cars for city use. You would need to have a garage to park in overnight, and the spare cash to buy it as a second town car, but it is absolutely beautiful. 11 out of 10 for me.
It was a different time. The Bentley of course is a wonderfully beautiful car and he is a little saddened that Spitfire simply must stay home in the garage with the weather being so glorious. So perfect for High Street High Street laps about Stamford. Last night was quite damp. The lawn on the village green is looking tempting.
I have no objection to stuff like this existing, it looks beautifully engineered and brilliantly designed but it’s not really a car is it? In my humble opinion it’s a toy car for the super rich.
Exactly. Of absolutely no interest to car people. And JS is trying to grow the audience? I think this channel will be gone soon, I don't think it's viable.
I think it's a wonderful thing Jonny & worth every penny. I love that there are these kinds of companies out there making unusual creations like this. To make something like this takes a small army of skilled people at the top of their game that's never going to be cheap! I think £100k is probably justified with the amount of money already spent on tooling and the designwork. Endorsed by Bentley as well ! Great video Jonny 👍 I really enjoyed that , you had me laughing as well 😁
I'd love to see one of these on the road. I also absolutely agree that it's better these kinds of cars are made. If they didn't get made, then that would mean you're far less likely to see a car that is actually appealing in any way, like this one is
Definitely missing your leather driving gloves. But joking aside, the British town and cities need to see more of these beautiful looking vehicles, with their historic and nostalgia looks and environmentally friendly engines 👍 suited you Jonny
Very cool. The most interesting stuff going on in motor cars, engineering and design at the moment is all found within the lower power Quadricycle and Tricycle L1-L7 classes at the moment it seems.
I so want one of these Blower Bentley's...not an electric however...Being here in the States I am going to have to build my own it would seem....Great video my friend....
If I had a spare £100k burning a hole in my pocket, I'd absolutely buy one of those. I think the grins you'd get dropping the kid off at school would be totally worth it. 2 kids? 2 journeys... I'd love a full sized one even more, though...
Thanks Jonny, this video proves another use case for retro-electrification. By electrifying an antique car you can preserve its irreplaceable engine and get to use it at the same time.
I approve of anything handmade in the UK and eccentric. This makes me smile. Seeing Stamford also makes me smile. Sweet, sweet town. I haven't been there for ages. I think you were near my uncle's house towards the end of the video!
Loving seeing Stamford used with this Bentley. The George hotel you drive past at the beginning is mentioned in the book, The Bentley Boys. I think the first Bentley ever made used that as its stop over point when travelling from north from London. Up the Old Great North Road
I absolutely want one. I just cant afford it. But I love the idea of electrifying classic old styled cars. Stylish, interesting, unique. Its what we need.
Brilliant. Had the Toyota powered Lotus 7 replica out for a run this morning. Completely impractical, but like you say it just puts smiles on faces. Kids, teenagers, old chinese women. It doesn’t matter who, there aren’t many people who dont turn for a look or stop to chat when you drive cars like these.
I absolutely love the idea of rebuilding these vintage cars with the modern livability of electric motors. vintage cars don’t get enjoyed enough because let’s be honest they rarely start first time and are an absolute faff to live with….. these solve those issues and will still bring a disgusting amount of enjoyment driving them about. top work little car company
Bentlaaay 😂 Thank you for cheering me up Jonny, here I am at home off sick with no income protection and a broken leg. So I'm feeling extra sorry for myself at the moment.
I was expecting a world of hate about it in the comments and to be fair haven't read them all but, what a joyous thing. If I had the cash to buy one would I? Probably not, but I would salute anyone that did.
Great, creative machine! There is a place for cool stuff like this within the broad motoring category, and regardless whether it costs £10k or £100k. Keep ‘em coming please!👏
@@getawayhs2856tell that to Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and the millions that followed them on the Grand tour. In case you missed them, they became famous driving around in expensive toys for the rich that the average person couldn't afford. We can't all have it beige!
Make us an l7e fiat cinquecento / panda 141 / Daihatsu copen / Autobianchi Biancinana cabrio / .... Finally a way to make fun cars again!! But make it cheap not just for the super rich, I would to buy some l7e toy instead of the piston version from 30 years ago
I'm actually really glad that it exists, is a great addition to make our roads more interesting. I could definitely see it in Jay Leno's collection, or James May for getting to his pub, or big estate owners to get around,.... The level of production looks just amazing, I could just maybe love a little bigger battery and stronger motor. Jonny this is also a kind of car for you, you should build your version of this ;) Keep up the great work making great videos like this.
I wish they'd spent a bit of time thinking about the noise instead of leaving the default electric noise. Like could they have used some sort of quiet fanfare style noise or something. Recorded original Blower noises and somehow futurised the noises somehow... something!
Unfortunately, the law prevents that. Tesla, in the US, had the capability to use the mp3 file of your choice, until the government forced them to disable that.
I love it so much. If I had a bazzion $, a sprawling estate a few miles from a nice village somewhere, and a many car garage, I could certainly see enjoying something like this. Sadly, I have none of those thing.
Honestly for me, this and the Carice TC2 are the future of urban mobility. We need to start ditching those 2 ton SUV's and fill the city streets with electric vehicles like these. All of the materials used to build a single Tesla Model X or the new Hummer EV would almost be enough to build 4 or 5 of these. If the automotive conglomerate in Europe/US/Japan wants to compete against China in terms of adoption/acquisition of EV's, they have to go small in size and increase production volume to lower overall costs but unfortunately, they think that they can keep afloat selling their overpriced junk against China's underpriced junk. There is absolutely no excuse other than "but, but, my profit margin..." to build small, efficient and especially affordable electric cars these days. Most of the world's population lives in cities, there is no need for a vehicle that is larger than the place it drives in. It's a lot easier and cheaper for the manufacturers to make smaller cars than it is for governments to build wider roads, but it's also easier to just foot the bill upon the tax payer than it is to give it to the multi-billion Euro/Dollar/Yen auto corporations. Those have banks, lawyers, lobbyists and governments on their side, we don't.
Jonny I regularly watch out for you on the A1 or in Stamford (I’m in Peterborough) but I always fail to see you. I so wish I had seen you in the little blower. That’s a great little car. Bit expensive for me but I’m sure someone will buy one. Absolutely love it 🥰
Its everthing all right Jonny? Best intro that I ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Laughted so much that I had to stop the video to wipe my tears before continuing watching. Great car but shame that is not the real one. Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
It reminds me of a ride at a theme park as a kid... Those little cars on the track.. But it's flipping awesome. Could drop a zero from the price though 😉
Excellent review. 23:40 WORST IDEA OF THE MONTH! That would make it an irrelevant toy for children, not a downsized masterpiece it currently is. Higher range number is the one and ONLY thing this Bentley needs.
I think it's a great piece of kit. It's not going to replace a Yaris et al, but it's fun, looks close enough ( apart from those seatbelt posts but you can't get round that) and its off the scale interesting compared to most other city cars. I'm not an EV fan but one of those could turn me. Jonny, you should do a film on CycleKarts, it's a blossoming movement over here of people playing with single seat, scaled down vintage racers, they are epic fun.
Absolutely Jonny, I would love to see more vintage and (faux) vintage vehicles on the road. This is a great video.🤩 All the best from Gene in Tennessee.
This car is so fun, I would be all over it if money was nothing. what a massive smile factory and you don't have to worry about the historic value or significance of it or driving through a puddle or anything like that.
I love it, the craftmanship is excellent. But I feel like they could have done something to change the mandatory EV hum to something else. At least the horn is correct. I feel like the masts holding the seatbelts are a bit optimistic too, unless they're also supposed to act as rollover protection? But you're right, a rollover hoop might not be authentic but it would look more symmetrical and purposeful.
Love it. The video too. Back in the early 70’s i had the pleasure of seeing one about half the size. It belonged to the son of a film director - it wasn’t electric but could probably go quite quickly around his vast estate.
A Mark One Sprite would be nice. More important is progress in low voltage quads for urban and rural use. With a good sled, all sorts of body work can be added.
I love the look, finish and even scale of this. I am pro EV but I can't help but think this needs to make a vintage sound and a bit more top end, something like a sorted Harley or Guzzi V twin would fit in there nicely, you could even have the high level exhaust running down the side.
Back in my days I had one of these, but without silly seatbelts, we took thick gilfriends instead of airbags. There was no elecrticity In my ancesters castle so poor old George had to charge my little Junior with a balloon and wool fabric for a whole week, great, great times!
Let's be honest here, it's frickin awesome. A rich person's toy true but still awesome. It really is a pity that any re engineered old car is so expensive. We need the old kit cars back !
Sweet sweet memories of trundling around in my Blower, through the leafy streets of London town, full tweed and woodbine going even in the hottest of summers. On that side of things but of course it was different back then. Imagine modding and taking out the electric pack!!! Loved this you SSG! #CMTMB 👍
Ah, I was so looking forward to seeing it dashing through the streets of leafy, leafy London. There should always be a place for fun stuff like this, and it's something that we rather excel at in these isles.
I want one, loved the other little cars they had at your S&S live.

I love it! I too think a roll cage would look better than the asymmetrical posts. Also I think they could've added in a frunk, as there's plenty of space there.
12:38 Shower hose rear light cluster "cable ducts"! It's like trying to spot the kitchen appliances in a sci-fi set :D I love it and I applaud that it exists. But that did make me giggle.
What a happy little Johnny 😂 I love fun car like this, yeh it has a serious price but everything else about it is there to make you and other people smile. So if I was a squillionare I’d buy one.
What a beauty... In a way it describes the current English car makers of today, odd, very expensive, impractical and too short range for an EV, but that shot of it pulling out of a mews garage makes it all worth it... Cordialement,
That's awesome- I love it! Silly, impractical, even ostentatious, yes, but super cool and it would certainly make me smile if I saw one!! Like you Jonny, I'm really glad this exists, and I bet it brings as many 'smiles per mile' from everyone- how could anyone hate that!! Long live British electrencicity!!
One of the coolest things about riding along with Jonny, is that we have no clue what the vehicle will be. The variety is always interesting, but the ENTHUSIASM keeps us coming back. I hope Jonny loves doing these as much as we love watching... 🎉
And you know, I had one of those in the sixties. Fanny and I would often go down the A1, with Fanny screaming loudly in my ear to go faster and drive it harder and harder. Sometimes Fannie’s scarf would get entangled in the wheels and choke her until she was blue, and you know what, I bloody well drove it harder and harder. Different times, different times.

Jonny repeatedly saying “Bentley” in ever more wierd ways is surely the best intro to any video ever. And then it got better. This is the most fun and interesting automotive channel out there. Brilliant!
He's poking fun at those idiot TikTok influencers that make videos of a hot chick touching a car and saying the brand just like he's doing here.

Couldn't stop laughing loved it so much 😂
I fully endorse this spoiler style intro 😝
Worst intro ever
Ok on reading further comments I see I’m in a minority, but I’ve not watched any TikTok clips so didn’t get the parody. Sorry
This would be perfect for me to run between my Villa and Marina, if I had any of those things.
That’s how we all know you’re a professional presenter, the best introduction I’ve seen 😂
Thank you. Means a lot.
The delicate lick broke me, lovely stuff@@TheLateBrakeShow
Can they make an 85% scale Ioniq 5 please?
Amen to that!
And under the bonnet of this 85% ioniq replica the electric motor has been replaced with a 6.5 litre blown Bentley engine
My first thought was “OMG - this is too freakin’ cool!” My second thought was “How the hell can people walk past this going down the street and not at least turn and stare?” Thanks Johnny!
I agree on the roll hoop. The fake blower as the plug in is genius.
These old car designs are very beautiful
I'm just glad there are still craftsman in England which can build such a quality vehicle...and enough eccentrics willing to buy them.
This is exactly what is needed in the EV world, fun small cars for city use. You would need to have a garage to park in overnight, and the spare cash to buy it as a second town car, but it is absolutely beautiful. 11 out of 10 for me.

A very fun homage to the engineering genius of 100 years ago. So glad that mad stuff like this exists.
But Jonny - it is still a 20s car! 😁 - Only 100 years later... and yes, if it puts a smile on my face, it needs to exist. This does exactly that.
Makes more than 45 smiles per hour, I guarantee!
I have no objection to stuff like this existing, it looks beautifully engineered and brilliantly designed but it’s not really a car is it? In my humble opinion it’s a toy car for the super rich.

I love that this kind of thing exists. The world needs more quirky, fun, and unusual.
The fact that Tik Tokers and Bentayga ponces simply wont understand this car makes it even more desirable
LOVE the parody "Bentley" introduction. As if those tik tok chicks would even know how cool this car truly is. :)

Been thinking that an electric 3/4-size Auburn Speedster would be seriously cool, this makes perfect sense to me.
Very cool car (quadracycle)! This is among my favourite Late Brake Show videos.
What a beauty...
In a way it describes the current English car makers of today, odd, very expensive, impractical and too short range for an EV, but that shot of it pulling out of a mews garage makes it all worth it...
Cordialement,
Love 🫶 everything about this vehicle, accept the price! Thanks 🙏 for showing and driving it for us! 👍🏻👍🏻🆙 like always!
I think it’s very cool. I’m not really in the right tax bracket for a £100k pub car, but still think it’s excellent
I wish I had seen you driving round Stamford. I would have certainly put my thumb up.😃 Nice motor.
That's awesome- I love it!
Silly, impractical, even ostentatious, yes, but super cool and it would certainly make me smile if I saw one!!
Like you Jonny, I'm really glad this exists, and I bet it brings as many 'smiles per mile' from everyone- how could anyone hate that!!
Long live British electrencicity!!
Another great video Jonny. Think a leather flying helmet and goggles might be the missing optional extra but nice engineering!
That is a blast.. it is great to see such things exist.. splash of cash & smile!
