Summary
This right-hand-drive 1953 Bentley R-Type, one of 2,320 produced, was imported to the US in 1971 and refurbished in the 1980s, later acquired by the current owner in 2014. Originally Tudor Gray, it was repainted in a two-tone Scottish Pine Green and Butterfly Yellow, with the interior retrimmed in light green leather and refinished burl wood. During current ownership, the brake system was overhauled, tires replaced, fuel tank refurbished, and carburetors rebuilt, though minor interior issues like a broken rear window defogger connection are noted.
