Stunning example
6.25 Litre V8 engine
Launched in 1965 to replace the S3 the T1 was based on the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.
Hand built side by side at Crewe factory where all Rolls Royce and Bentley cars were produced until the companies split in 2002.
Considerably rarer than the silver shadow with 1 T1 for every 12 Rolls Royce's produced the Bentley featured differences including a smaller radiator grill, Bentley badging and interior changes.
This stunning example finished in sought after Caribbean blue with fantastic cream Connolly leather interior is easily one of the best examples we have seen.
Showing 11,000 miles although we do not have sufficient paperwork to verify this as correct (likely to be 111,000 miles due to 5 digit speedo)
