Hollywood star to collect unique Oxfordshire-built Bentley

Jason Momoa has commissioned a Bentley Blower Jr model car from Bicester-based Hedley Studios, with the order set to be completed this summer.

The actor is best known for playing superhero Aquaman, Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and for his role in the Dune trilogy, which he is to reprise later this year.

Meanwhile the firm, which operates from Bicester Heritage, makes miniaturised electric versions of classic cars, having previously been known as The Little Car Company.

Mr Momoa visited Bicester to meet the team and to help direct the project, which is an 85 per cent scale, fully electric recreation of the 1929 Bentley 4½ Litre Supercharged.

Ben Hedley, founder of Hedley Studios, said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Jason on this project.

“He had a really clear vision of what he wanted to integrate into the car to make it a true one-off and personal to him: the story of his grandfather, the antiqued brass finishes, the unique paint shade and the wooden dash from his place of birth.”

There are more than 100 bespoke or specially created elements, with the body finished in Momoa Crimson, a rich, dark red created for the work.

The dashboard is crafted from Koa wood, native to Hawaii, where Mr Momoa was born, and the radiator and personal number plate carry a “666” badge in tribute to his grandfather, who was nicknamed “El Diablo”.

One of the most distinctive elements, according to Hedley Studios, is the hand-carved brass skull drive selector, created from a solid block of brass and requiring more than 100 hours of hand work.

The steering wheel also carries the On The Roam logo, a symbol shared by the actor and his creative team as tattoos.

Mr Hedley added: “What stood out most was the sense of fun and energy Jason brought to the whole process.

“He was completely engaged with the team behind the build, and that made the project feel genuinely collaborative from the start. It’s been a real honour to help bring his vision to life.”

The work with Mr Momoa marks a positive point in a challenging year for Hedley Studios.

A previous version of the company – now called HSL Realisations 2026 – was placed into administration in March with creditors worth £2,070,036.

Following this, the business and certain of the assets were sold to a connected party, Hedley Labs Limited, which in May changed its name to Hedley Studios Limited.
