About this car

The R-Type Continental with H.J. Mulliner's fastback coachwork is widely regarded as the most desirable post-war Bentley, and this 1954 car carries the manual gearbox and rear wheel spats that many enthusiasts prefer. It was shown at the 1954 Geneva Motor Show, which gives it a notable early history.

It is finished in black with fawn hide upholstery. Ownership has been steady: three owners before 1973, then one keeper from 1973 until 2004, and the current owner for the last twenty years. During that time it has been maintained by Bentley specialists and is described as in excellent, usable condition. The chassis number is BC67C.
