The Bentley 4½ Litre was a rolling chassis built by Bentley Motors from 1927 to 1931, when W. O. Bentley replaced the 3 Litre with a more powerful car by enlarging the engine to 4.4 litres. Buyers arranged for coachbuilders to fit bodies of their choice, mostly saloons or tourers, while the factory's competition programme brought valuable publicity. A total of 720 cars were built, among them 55 supercharged cars popularly known as the Blower Bentley, made to meet 24 Hours of Le Mans regulations and tied to the racing driver Tim Birkin. A 4½ Litre won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1928, and a supercharged car set several speed records.
