Vehicle Description
"1953 R-Type Saloon. Lightweight 4-door RHD saloon by HJ Mulliner
on chassis B-350-SR. In fine running condition and has been well
maintained throughout its history. The leather is original and is
in very good condition. This rare find is one of only six R-Type
Bentleys built with this Mulliner aluminum body. This body style
was seen at several motor shows in the early 1950s and was said to
be the principal inspiration behind the shaping of the Rolls-Royce
Silver Cloud which followed. Total mileage is less than 130,000,
with just 20,000 accumulated in the last twenty years. It sports a
manual, 4-speed gearbox: the R-Type remains the last car by Bentley
to be sold with a manual transmission. Complete ownership record
from original Mulliner work order to present. Used by HRH Princess
Margaret for her personal transport while on engagements in
Sussex."
