1955 BENTLEY R-TYPE HJ MULLINER 2 DOOR - £675,000

To find an example of the extremely sought after Continental fastback in delightfully original condition is a dream to many, but this car is just that, having had just four owners and covered only 69,000 miles from new. Love and care lavished on the car by particularly considerate owners have resulted in an exceptional outcome. The coachwork is fabulously straight, sharp and precise, and the somewhat faded 'Dragonfly blue' paintwork only adds to its appeal. The interior is gorgeously undisturbed and in superb condition, with soft leather in beige, piped blue, lovely woodwork, etc, and even the original carpets are intact and in good condition. Add to the above the fact that this car is one of the very last, an 'E' series, with the 4.9 litre engine, and you have something very special! If you appreciate the significance and importance of delightful, matured originality, have always fancied an R Type Continental, and want an easy to drive automatic, with comfy seats, this may be the only one available to suit your needs! Amongst much other documentation, included in the history file is the original buff logbook from 1955, together with the sales invoice from when bought new by the first owner, who went on to keep the car for 26 years, and when the time came to sell, he was keen to find someone to care for the car appropriately, as the letter we have attests to. This he achieved, and the car was then with one family for another 27 years until 2008. Two more custodians complete the history of known ownership from new. Delightfully correct, undisturbed and having a tactile quality difficult to put into words, this truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Just re-commissioned, serviced and MoT tested. Chassis No. BC3E Reg No. PYR 1
