Summary
This 1952 Bentley R Type Two Door Coupe, chassis B2 RT, is the first of its kind built with custom coachwork by Abbott of Farnham and was originally exhibited at the Earls Court Motor Show. Remaining with its original owner until 1992, it underwent a meticulous 10-year restoration and is now presented in very fine condition with a two-tone exterior and newly trimmed black leather interior. As one of only 15 cars ever constructed by Abbott, this example is exceptionally rare and historically significant.
