Vehicle Description
1953 Bentley R Type Continental H.J.Mulliner Fastback Chassis
BC21BA lovely example of the iconic fastback, which underwent a
full ground up restoration in the 2000s, evidenced with photos
showing the car stripped to a bare chassis frame. Since then, the
car has had minimal use and is still excellent, even the underside
being virtually spotless! At the same time as the restoration was
carried out, the original engine was upgraded to 4.9 litre, the
work being done correctly and impressively. The whole car, although
having matured slightly and appealingly since the renovation, still
has a fresh feel to it, particularly the impressive interior, with
the red leather, carpets and headlining all looking, feeling and
even smelling new, with the wood having a lovely satin finish, all
very tasteful and extremely well executed. Looking at the underside
of the car reveals the extent of the restoration and tells a story
about how well the car has been looked-after since. Driving very
nicely, fitted with Harvey Bailey anti roll bars front and rear,
ready for the open road and some leg stretching! Car is currently
located in the UK. Worldwide shipping will be included in the
price! Price: $950,000
