A DESIGNER OF CLASSIC AND MEAN MACHINES

Responsible for the classic “Blower” Bentley in the Twenties (James Bond’s original car), he also designed Sir Malcolm Campbell’s record-breaking Bluebird, did the design drawings for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and many other projects besides. Paul Kenny’s new book on Villiers presents a great portrait of a clearly determined man.
