Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Bentley T2, one of only 19 left in the UK according to some sources, features an Athenian Blue exterior, light blue hide interior with dark blue piping, and a 6.75L engine. It comes with a history folder, service booklet, and two keys. It was owned by Mr. Marrison/Morrison and later by John Winder, who commissioned a full body rebuild in 2007. Recent recommissioning was carried out after a period of dry storage, but it still requires attention to the brakes, boot rubber, and electric windows.
Condition
5
The car has been dry stored since 2020 and lightly recommissioned recently. However, it needs further attention as the brakes are binding, the boot rubber has perished, and the near side electric windows do not work. The service history is not complete. The car's cosmetic and mechanical condition suggests it needs some reconditioning.

Mechanically identical, the duo represented a complete break from tradition, being the first of the Crewe factory's models to employ unitary construction.
Originally of 6,230cc, the pushrod V8 engine grew to 6,750cc in 1970 and provided identical power in either application.
Introduced in 1977 alongside the Shadow II, the T2 gained split-level air-conditioning, rack and pinion steering, revised dashboard and a chin spoiler.
Bentley was seen as very much the 'junior' marque at this time - its resurgence in the form of the Mulsanne Turbo was still some five years away - and sold in correspondingly limited numbers.
By the time production ceased in 1980, only 568 Bentley T2s h...
