Tell Me More
The Bentley R Type Continental, produced from 1952-1955, was known for its high speed and elegant design. It was based on the R Type saloon.
Its successor was the Bentley S1 Continental.
A lesser-known fact: Many early R-Type Continentals suffered from overheating. This was due to the original design's inadequate radiator size for sustained high-speed driving.
