Summary
This rare 1953 Bentley R-Type Saloon, one of 2,320 produced, has been family-owned for 41 years and shows 72k miles, with 15k added since its acquisition by the seller's father in 1981. It underwent extensive restoration including a two-tone repaint, interior reupholstery, wood refinishing, and a transmission rebuild, and features aftermarket air conditioning, fold-down picnic tables, and a backup camera. Noted imperfections include paint and wheel finish flaws, a non-operational radio, a seat piping tear, delaminating wood veneer, and intermittent horns.
