Two Tone 1953 Bentley R-Type Saloon. Manufactured at the Crewe, England Facility and completed and sold in 1953. It is a Standard Steel Saloon, with a sun roof.
The history is unclear until the mid 1990's when the car was placed into storage by a local car collector. It remained there for about 25 years until I purchased it from them in March 2018. The exterior was in good condition, but the mechanics and the interior fabric was in very bad shape. The mechanics were worked on immediately. That was followed by a complete interior and trunk refurbishment including the seating, liners, side panels and carpets. This was completed in April 2021. In addition the radio was updated with a USB port for charging and a channel that allows auxiliary sources such as a cell phone or laptop to be connected. The car now has that new car smell.
This car is smaller but looks sportier and drives faster than the Rolls-Royce I also have listed on Giggster.
