Description

This is my Bentley R Type from 1953. First owner a titled gentleman who sold the car to a business associate of mine in the USA who had the car painted sand over sable. The car returned to me around 35 years ago and I had a 2 year no expense spared restoration (costing more than for sale now!) to bring it back to factory specifications as it is a matching numbers car.
I have used this car for all my family weddings and even drove the car to Norway and back without missing a beat.
I have the overseas spares kit (unused) with the car and all tools and books relating to the car. An A4 box file full of invoices.
As can be seen it shines like glass and is colour matched on the underside.
Far too much to write about but the quality can be seen in the pictures. Connolly hides used for the interior and the Rolls Royce factory finished wood.
V5c in my name as the only owner in the UK (first owner on build sheets).
No P/ X, no canvassers. delivery possible anywhere in Europe so please ring for an 'at cost' price to your door. Further further information ring me James. Must be the best all round car anywhere.
