The Bentley T-Series was launched in 1965 alongside its sister car, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
It was a pure badge-engineering exercise and ended up being sold for the same price as the Rolls-Royce.
The Bentley T-series was a quiet revolution, it was the first car produced by the company to feature unitary construction instead of a more traditional separate chassis.
The Corniche models were derived from the T1/Silver Shadow, starting out as the Mulliner Park Ward two-door fixedhead coupé.
140 Bentley badged-engineered Rolls-Royce Corniches were made; of which just 69 were fixedhead coupés and all were built at the Mulliner Park Ward factory.
In 1984, the Corniche was rebranded Continental while receiving a number of mechanical improvements.
This was to open up some distance between Rolls-Royce and Bentley - it worked, as the Continental continued to sell well into the 1990s, only to be replaced by the Azure in 1995.
