BENTLEY

A wonderful example of post war British craftsmanship, this 1954 Bentley R Type offers the effortless refinement and understated presence that defined Crewe’s finest years. Elegant, dignified and beautifully engineered, it delivers the smooth performance and discreet luxury that have made the R Type one of the most appealing classic Bentleys to own and enjoy today. This example is further enhanced with its 4.9 rebore making it even more useable today.
