The Appeal

The T Type was Bentley's first monocoque-bodied saloon, sharing much with the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow but with a far smaller production run. With its distinctive Bentley grille and a more sporting character than its Crewe stablemate, the T Type has nevertheless carved out a reputation of its very own.

This 1975 example is accompanied by four service history books. Recent cosmetic attention has seen the interior leather Connolised and all woodwork refurbished. The exterior is ready for some restoration work, and offers solid bones for the work to begin. Mechanically, the vendor states the 6.75-litre V8 and three-speed automatic are in fine form, with the car driving well and the brakes performing as expected.
