You’re one ride away from a good mood – Bentley. Bentley and Rolls-Royce each had their own approach. The Rolls was for the English country gentleman who was driven to and from his hunting cottage as quietly and comfortably as possible without the mess of scone. Bentley was for the English country gentleman who wanted to drive sélf. Thus, the 6.75 liter block was fitted with larger twin SU carburetors and the suspension was a little more severe. So we don't understand why the Bentley T1 was totally overshadowed by RR's body-sharing sister. In the end, only 568 British aristocrats chose the sporty(er) variant. For the collector, so much more desirable these days! The previous owner decided to restore his T1, as it was perhaps échtly intended. End result? Roll cage, sperm diff, four-point harnesses, spotlights én racing numbers! And the race number? Just the year of construction of the car! To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
