For Sale: 1953 Bentley R Type in Maldon, Essex,

Vehicle Description


Bentley R-Type Continental. Smoke Green with Grey Green interior. Matching numbers. UK supplied car, famously owned by Hon. Alan Clark MP and mentioned in many of the Hon. Alan Clark's books and newspaper columns. Under his ownership he made a few personal styling changes including removal of the front over riders and centre bumper for a sportier look along with front sports seats which remain today. (Over riders, centre bumper and original seats supplied with car) Mechanically he kept it as intended and famously never polished it although very well maintained regardless of cost with P & A Wood for many years. Original maintenance and touring data handbooks in original Bentley Motors Bindings with history survive and will be supplied with the car. An extremely rare un-restored original car in beautifully patinated condition. An important piece of British motoring folklore. Please contact us for further details.
