Details This 1967 Bentley T1 saloon is powered by a rebuilt V8 engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission and features right-hand drive. Finished in Silver Green over a gray leather interior with maroon piping, this T1 represents the first generation of the Bentley T-Series and shares much of its design and engineering with the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I, including rear-wheel drive and factory luxury appointments. This example includes service records dating back to 1996. Recent services include parking brake repairs and an oil change. It also comes with original 1967 documentation, the original title, service manuals, emissions certificate valid through 2025 and Bentley-related books and service manuals. With the T1 model, Bentley entered into the modern era of unibody construction. Even though it looked very similar to the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, it was a car for the owner to drive, not to be chauffeured. The specific, rounded Bentley grille with a pinned-out design was shorter than the one used by Rolls-Royce. That led to a slightly narrower front end, giving the car a sportier look. Its flush fenders featured turn signals on the outside and the front edge. Underneath its chromed metallic bumper Bentley installed a new air-intake to cool the engine and the AC radiator. At the back, the carmaker placed narrow and tall taillights on the rear quarter fender's edge. Inside, Bentley delivered the same quality interior as Rolls-Royce. Its leather-clad cabin featured a flat dashboard with wood veneers and chromed dials in front of the driver and a glove compartment on the passenger side. Since the gear selector was on the steering column, the carmaker could install two wide seats at the front, which formed a bench. Moreover, Bentley installed two folding armrests in the middle. Still, there was enough room for three adults at the front. In the back, the carmaker offered a comfortable bench for three adults. On the back of the front seats' seatbacks, the manufacturer added two folding trays. Under the hood, Bentley relied on the same 6.2-liter V-8 powerplant produced by Rolls-Royce but tuned to provide more power. In the beginning, it was paired with a GM-sourced three-speed automatic gearbox. Later on, the carmaker replaced that three-speed unit with a four-speed automatic, which General Motors also provided.
