1954 Bentley R Type (RHD) SOLD

This R-Type done in attractive colors, exhibits some chips and nicks (shown in the pictures) and will benefit from some touch ups. Looking closely, you'll see a small dent in the rear left door (shown in the pictures). The silver/ blue paint is lifting midway on the passenger's door, and slightly around the rear boot lid on some of the lower sections.

This 1954 R-Type (B120XF) now runs, drives, and stops; however, it will require a mechanical going over before being road worthy. It runs nicely, has proper oil pressure and charges strong, but will greatly benefit from proper cleaning and adjustment of the twin SU carburetors.

B120XF has had a superb new interior installed in the correct Connolly leather hides. At the same time, new Wilton carpets were also fitted, at a great expense. A great deal of craftsmanship, time and money has gone into re-doing this interior, and it shows! The door panels were not replaced, however we would suggest just re-coating them in the correct finish. The glass is good all the way round, and veneers are in tidy condition. B120XF retains its original radio, and tabletop which extends toward the front seats. The rear burl walnut tray tables are in very nice condition with no defects. The original headliner shows well, although there is a small tear above the rear window. The large sunroof above functions as it should, and is water tight.

B120XF is complete with all its tools: crank, jack, air pump, wheel cover spanner, as well as the two grease tools and flashlight (not shown) located in the engine compartment.

Underneath the body is solid, with the frame and outriggers are in good condition. A new exhaust system will be necessary, but fortunately is easily sourced for approximately $2, 000 USD. B120XF requires a relatively straight forward re-commissioning, and would greatly benefit from a light cosmetic restoration. Currently riding on matching Lester white wall tires, B120XF has as great deal of potential for the next owner.
