Summary
This rare right-hand-drive 1953 Bentley R-Type Saloon, one of just over 2,300 examples produced, is offered as a non-running project after its 4.6-liter inline-six engine overheated, blowing the head gasket and cracking the cylinder head following a refurbishment. Originally Velvet Green, the car was refinished in enamel green over tan leather, and its five-digit odometer shows 92,000 miles, with only 10 miles added by the current seller.
