1953 Bentley 2dr Fastback Coupe. For Sale

Bensport La Sarthe, aluminium fast back coupe.

Based on a totally rebuilt Bentley R-Type chassis, clad with an exquisite and unique body, this car is entirely hand made in England. The totally new coach work is built by Bensport to their own concept, whilst retaining the spirit of the 1950s. The elegant hand wheeled panels are created by time served craftsman following in the traditions of the famous English coachbuilders.

The chassis although totally rebuilt to the minutest detail, is little altered from its original design, whilst incorporating mild modifications to the cooling and exhaust systems and benefitting from power steering and a high ratio back axle. Efficient air conditioning adds to the superb driver experience. The car is available with manual or automatic transmission, and in right or left control.

Due to the complexity of its construction, this car is built in extremely small numbers, each car unique with full customer input into choice of colour and trim. The next production car will be available in the next six months.
Alongside the traditional petrol fuelled cars, and with the protection of the environment in mind, Bensport are to offer a fully carbon zero edition of La Sarthe, incorporating a 250 BHP motor, giving outstanding performance with a range of around 250 miles.

Please contact us for further information and about commissions for La Sarthe.
