The Bentley R type was introduced in 1952 and was only the second new model after the world wars. The car shared its basic structure, such as the frame and its 4.6-litre straight-six engine, with the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn.
This 1954 Bentley R Type Standard Steel Saloon was imported to Finland and registered in October 1999. The R type is equipped with a sunroof and a four-speed automatic transmission.
The very original Bentley R Type owners handbook is preserved and there are notes from services made in 1950’s and 1960’s.
The car has been stored in a museum and has been driven annually. The body and interior have a lot of patina, wear, chips, bubbles and signs of use.
The car's engine runs great and the Bentley's drive is smooth. The transmission works flawlessly.
The car is registered as a historic vehicle and Mot/Tüv inspected in 06/2023 that is valid until June of 2027. The car has not been technically inspected by us and we recommend a comprehensive service for it.
The Bentley is located in Luhtaanmäki, Vantaa. Views by appointment.
