About the Bentley 6.5 Litre Gurney Nutting Saloon Blue Train Special Green Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Bentley 6.5 Litre reproduces the Gurney Nutting-bodied saloon in Blue Train Special green, a coachbuilt British body style from 1930. Its long bonnet and upright cabin make it a distinctive pre-war anchor piece rather than a routine road-car replica.

Coachbuilt Bentleys are a different kind of subject to model than a standard production saloon. Gurney Nutting built bodies to commission, and this one, in its Blue Train Special green, carries that bespoke character straight into 1:18 diecast.

Minichamps' 1:18 Diecast Reading of a Coachbuilt Body

At 1:18, the Gurney Nutting saloon's long bonnet, upright radiator grille and narrow, tall cabin windows demand precise panel work that a shrunken modern saloon shape never needs. The diecast body here carries genuine heft, and that weight matters on a pre-war subject where thin, flimsy tooling would undercut the sense of a genuinely substantial period car. The green finish reads deep rather than flat under direct light, appropriate for a colour tied to the Blue Train legend rather than a routine factory shade. Chrome detailing along the radiator surround and headlamps stands proud against the body colour, the kind of contrast pre-war subjects rely on since they carry so little brightwork trim compared with later decades.

A Centrepiece for a Vintage Bentley Display

A coachbuilt 1930 Bentley is not a subject most manufacturers bother tooling, so this piece earns its place as a genuine anchor rather than filler in a pre-war British display. Set beside other Vintage Classics, its scale and presence at 1:18 dominate a shelf the way the original would have dominated a country house drive. Collectors building a themed run around British luxury motoring of the interwar years will find few subjects with this level of coachbuilding pedigree available in diecast, which is exactly what makes it worth the space it takes up.
