Miniature Vintage Car Replicas

This Handcrafted Bentley Replica Looks Exactly Like the Original

— February 7, 2018 — Autos
This vintage car replica of the 1920s-era Bentley 4.5-liter car racer is a magnificently reconstructed and reimagined version of one of the great sports cars of its time, and although it's a 2/3 scale replica and not full size, it looks and operates remarkably similarly to the original car.

Constructed by a German automotive enthusiast in 2017, this vintage car replica measures in at three meters long, which puts it at just short of 1.5 meters shorter than the original Bentley. Built by hand using consummate craftsmanship, this vehicle features a petrol engine and semi-automatic gearbox..

This Bentley replica is being auctioned off as a children's car, and with an expected auction price of up to $8,666, is a fine example of high-end automotive toys being marketed towards the luxury children's toys market.
