Typical sold price of a Bentley R Type ranges from $10,752 to $1,095,000, based on 450 sales tracked on Hypercars. 37 currently for sale.
The Bentley R Type, produced from 1952 to 1955, was a refined evolution of the Mark VI. It's best known for its larger, more practical trunk and the introduction of an optional automatic transmission. While most of the 2,323 examples were standard steel saloons, a small number received custom coachwork, including the legendary R Type Continental Fastback.
Collectors are drawn to the standard R Type saloon as an accessible entry into post-war Bentley ownership. It offers the same hand-built quality and elegant styling as its more famous siblings for a fraction of the price. It's a surprisingly usable classic, with its 4.6L (and later 4.9L) inline-6 engine providing enough power for today's roads.
The market for standard steel R Types is relatively stable and affordable. With an average sale price under $30,000, these cars represent significant value. While top-tier coachbuilt versions command millions, the standard saloon remains a connoisseur's choice for those who value the driving experience over investment potential.
Prices range from $3,000 for project cars to $67,500 for concours-quality examples.
450 Bentley R Type vehicles have been tracked across auctions and listings on Hypercars, with 37 currently live. Sold prices range from $575 to $2,975,000.
