Petersen Engineering

Nestled in a small village in rural Devon, southwest England, Petersen Engineering has earned a strong reputation both locally and internationally.

 

Specialising in restoring, rebuilding, and recreating vintage Bentley motor cars, the company has been in business for 30 years, completing over 90 Petersen cars for customers.

 

We also produce many replacement parts on-site for Bentley owners worldwide, along with a steady flow of handmade components for original Bentleys and the increasingly renowned custom-built Petersen cars.

Petersen Unique Coach built Cars

The distinctive Petersen cars, crafted with period components, are classic vehicles built to authentic coachwork and measurements based a genuine 1930s Bentley.

 

While they not be 'original' in the strictest sense, one might question how many so-called original cars truly are.

"Bob Petersen continues to produce beautifully finished Specials using best quality materials for a classic exterior that is second to none. The use of modern technology where necessary for compatibility with modern traffic is a logical progression that my godfather, W.O. Bentley would certainly have approved of."

 

BOB GATHERCOLE, Godson W.O. BENTLEY

Petersen Le Mans Blower Bentley

"One of the most outstanding cars we have had the privilege of featuring. a statement on wheels... and for such sophisticated engineering and high standard of workmanship, one would expect to have to pay a much higher price for it too!"
