The Bentley Embiricos Recreation by Petersen Engineering
Our tribute to one of the most beautiful coach-built Bentleys of the 1930s, designed by the legendary French coachbuilder Pourtout for André Embiricos
A quick little walk around video of our Embiricos Bentley recreation we finished a couple years ago here at Petersen Engineering.
The Derby Bentley it's built on, known as the "silent sports car" makes a superb little rumble on tick over and you get a real scream from from the 4¼ litre engine as you press on. The great chassis with this cracking little engine mixed with the luxury and comfort makes for an unbeatable 1930's tourer in my opinion.
A nod to the original Embiricos Bentley and Georges Paulin's fantastic streamlined design work he created for Marcel Pourtout to bring to life.

Welcome to our latest commission — the Birkin Blower Recreation by Petersen Engineering.
We are proud to present our second 4½ Litre Birkin Blower Bentley recreation — a truly remarkable motor car. This two-seater homage to the legendary original incorporates some of our most advanced developments to date, including our own in-house–designed and built five-speed fully synchronised gearbox, a high-ratio rear axle, and discreet modern disc brakes concealed within the traditional drum covers.
Still breathing through its monstrous twin SU carburettors, this car delivers an unrivalled blend of performance, theatre, and adrenaline — a true driver’s car in every sense.
Now available for sale and ready for its next custodian.
Viewings are welcomed by appointment at our Devon showroom and workshops.

The Petersen Bentley Dartmoor Coupé.
First unveiled at the Goodwood Revival in 2009, this was the very first Dartmoor Coupé designed and built entirely by our founder, Bob Petersen, who set out to create the ultimate Art Deco, aero-styled car of the 1930s.
It remains the only Dartmoor Coupé in existence today — though two more are currently in production and will be unveiled in the coming months.
This example is now available through our friends at in London
