Bentley Motors is competing in Mille Miglia 2014 from the 15th to the 18th of May with two of the company's famous 4.5-litre supercharged 'Blowers'.

Two of Bentley's famous 4.5-litre 'Blowers' will undertake the 1,700km route at this year's edition of the Mille Miglia - occurring from the 15^th until the 18^th of May.

The classic dark green livery and distinctive rumbling exhaust note have always been a fan favourite at the Mille Miglia

The 1930 Le Mans 'Team Car' once owned by Sir Henry 'Tim' Birkin - one of the most celebrated members of a British gentleman racing group known as the Bentley Boys - will be joined by a former company demonstrator Blower with its original Vanden Plas Open, Sports Four Seater body.

Both Bentleys have successfully completed the modern Mille Miglia challenge several times.

Despite being on the road for nine decades, the second Blower continues to delight customers and guests from around the world - with demonstration drives during visits to Bentley's Crewe Headquarters.

To celebrate the start of Mille Miglia 2014, the Bentley team will meet with customers and friends from the Bentley Drivers Club in the city of Brescia, Italy on the afternoon before the race.

The gathering will see Bentley owners from around the world including from as far as Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa and the U.S.A, meet the Blowers and bring their own cars to create a unique lineup of Bentley machines.
