This model pays homage to the 4.5-litre Bentley that took two of Bentley’s five overall Le Mans 24 Hours victories from 1923-30. The Bentley Blower benefited from a Roots supercharger – a source of controversy among those at Bentley – and it put out 240 horsepower. This kit features a separate compressor, two-piece bonnet, those unmistakeable spoked wheels and decals for the no8 that campaigned the 1930 Le Mans race.

The 1975 Tyrell P34 is the most famous six-wheeled Formula 1 car.

This model kit by Tamiya includes a complex front and rear coil-spring suspension model with a realistic engine, removable cockpit parts, detailed brake discs and aerodynamic parts and decals for the no3 or no4 car, plus tyre decals.
