Summary
This well-kept 1953 Bentley R-Type Saloon is a driver-quality example, featuring a rebuilt 4. 5L straight-six with modern updates and an extensive spares package including the original engine. Driven approximately 10,000 miles by the current owner, it has participated in rallies and appeared in the TNT series The Librarians.
More details
While the original black paint shows age-appropriate blemishes, the interior leather upholstery is in very good condition, complemented by updated lighting and brakes.
