Description
SAV 197M is a delightful example of the very rare Bentley T1 Saloon, a quintessential example of 1970s British luxury motoring. Supplied with handbook and an original service booklet, the car has a recorded mileage of 108000 which we believe to be genuine. With Bentley specialists carrying out a recent inspection and service, this Bentley gives an impressive first impression on the road. With its most recent owner, the Bentley was delivered to specialists Flying B in Cheshire and receipts during the summer of 2025, and February 2026 total over £6000.
The metallic Grey paintwork gives the car a refined curb appeal and having been machine polished and ceramic coated, it holds a deep finish. The bright chrome trim along the waistline, wheel arches, and drip rails all come together to resemble the sophistication and class synonymous with the marque. Stepping inside reveals one of the car's greatest strengths, the opulent Red leather interior that has been beautifully connolised contrasted beautifully by the re-lacquered woodwork.
Under the bonnet lies the smooth 6. 75-liter Rolls-Royce L-series V8 engine, delivering around 200-220 horsepower. Power is delivered through a three-speed GM Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission which feels silky through the gears. The power delivery is effortless, prioritizing serene acceleration over outright performance, while the hydropneumatic suspension is supremely comfortable and composed over any road surface.
This 1974 T1 Saloon represents a well-used but cherished example of one of Bentley's rarer models with only around 1, 700 T1 four-door saloons built in total. It blends timeless elegance, exceptional comfort, and that special aura of exclusivity that defines classic Bentley ownership.
