A BENTLEY/ROLLS ROYCE WITH UNIQUE FEATURES...
A CALIFORNIA CAR FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE, LOVINGLY CARED FOR BY ITS PREVIOUS AND CURRENT OWNERS...
- A beautiful automobile which features a General Motors drivetrain of proven reliability and smoothness...
- Over $90,000 was invested in the restoration and modernization of the car approximately twenty years ago. This included installation of a 350 cubic-inch General Motors V8 engine and Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission which perform flawlessly.
- The brakes nave been updated to power-assisted front discs/rear heavy-duty drums with a dual-chamber master cylinder. The steering is power assisted as well.
- There are many other updated components that have been professionally incorporated into the car which I would be pleased to review with a seriously interested prospective new owner.
- The body and chrome are in very good to excellent condition with the exception of a small (1-1/4") dent in the right-rear door and a few light scratches in the lower right quarter panel.
- Note that the hood and grille are from a period Rolls-Royce and were carefully integrated into the Bentley body. Also, a sunroof with moveable shade was installed.
- The interior is for the most part beautiful and in very good to excellent condition, with its real-wood trim elements, deep-pile carpeting, and leather surfaces. The leather of the driver's seat, however, is worn.
- The car is very solid and appears to have no rust or panel repairs. It glides down the road smoothly and very quietly.
I have been finding new homes for classic and vintage automobiles for twenty years. I now have the honor and privilege to offer this beautiful car to a new guardian who will, hopefully, treasure it as its current owner has. I encourage seriously interested parties to contact me to discuss the Bentley/Rolls in detail and arrange for an inspection and test drive.
