Rare and beautiful Smoke over Sage body has been preserved and touched up as needed. Chrome, glass, rubber and fitment all quite nice. Car presents well and looks stunning. The original and beautifully preserved green interior looks stunning with soft, gracefully aged Connolly Hyde and original Wilton Wool rugs.

Wood in good shape with patina's dash. All interior accessories in good working order. Cold, working air conditioning. The 6.23L V8 starts and runs smoothly and quietly. The shifting is excellent as intended along with braking and handling as well. This is a wonderful driving Bentley.

The Bentley, being technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce, seems to have been bought mostly by owners wishing a little more understatement. The outward appearance of a Bentley T is slightly more dynamic because the bonnet design is a few centimeters lower and the radiator shell shape with its rounded edges is smoother.

In addition, the badging on wheel covers, boot lid and gauges featured Bentley motifs rather than Rolls-Royce ones. 1,712 Bentley T1 Saloons were produced compared to 30,057 Silver Shadow (including Wraiths) making the understated Bentley T1 not only rare but highly collectible.
