This 1955 Bentley R Type Saloon is in white with grey
leather.
A right hand drive example.
Just over 2300 hand built R Type’s were produced
over a three year period. This car being produced towards the end
of that time meant that it had some of the improvements the
car received as production progressed.
Powered by a 4566 cc Rolls Royce 6 cylinder, overhead
inlet, side exhaust valve and twin SU carburetors.
A General Motors-sourced Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox,
which was the first time an auto ‘box had been fitted to a Bentley,
was a very welcome option.
This R Type has been in the same ownership since 1985! Always
serviced and maintained here locally.
Prior engine rebuild by A Spranza Motors in the 1990's.
Paint is showing signs of its age but overall presentable. Some
grazing and chips. Even consistency on color.
Factory sunroof.
Interior leather shows some patina but is still supple. Wood is in
nice condition and shows well. Gauges are in good working order.
Nice headliner, door panels and carpets.
Ready to enjoy.
