Information

Bentley R-type saloon, year 1953. Colour green with a green leather interior trimmed with dark red piping. Dark red wool carpet. This imposing automobile has undergone extensive partial restorations recently. The bodywork was restored from the bare metal and the interior was beautifully restored. This Bentley R-type was sold new to a British military attaché in Paris. Currently the car is with the fourth owner. This fine Bentley features an original sliding roof and a beautifully built in original classic radio. The six cylinder engine runs very smooth and silent and it delivers massive amounts of torque. The gearbox, brakes and steering work flawless and spot on. This Bentley is right hand driven. We are convinced this is the most delightful driving R-type you will find or dream to own. 

This classic car was sold to the United Kingdom
by Smiths-Veglia.
