Birkin is credited with creating the 4.5-liter "Blower" Bentley, and the original Number 9 was the 4.5-liter supercharged Bentley "Blower" that Birkin drove during the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1930.
Mulliner will be bringing Birkin's legacy back to life with the creation of just 100 Number 9 edition Continental GTs, inspired by the "Blower" Bentleys. The models will come in either green or black and feature Number 9 badging and a matching graphic on the grille. The GT wheels will be swapped out for 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification wheels, also in either green or black.
The color scheme continues inside: heritage hides adorned with "B" logos will line the seats and inner door panel as they did in the original model of the 1930s. Likewise, the center console has been finished in an aluminum that was designed to "limit light reflection" back in the Number 9's heyday.
