About this car

The T1 was Bentley's version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, and this 1974 four-door is one of only around 1,700 saloons built. It has the 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce V8, a three-speed GM Turbo-Hydramatic automatic and self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension, and it is built for quiet, unhurried travel rather than speed.

The car is finished in metallic grey over red leather. The paint has been machine polished and ceramic coated, the leather has been reconditioned and the wood re-lacquered. It shows 108,000 miles, which the dealer believes to be genuine, and it comes with its handbook and an original service booklet.

A recent inspection and service were carried out by Bentley specialists. Receipts from summer 2025 and February 2026, from work by Flying B in Cheshire, total over £6,000.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce/Bentley factory spec for the 6.75-litre L410 V8 (Crewe-built). The factory never published a power figure (it said only "adequate"), and I'm not sure of an official kerb weight, top speed or acceleration figure, so those are left blank.).

Engine: 6,750 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
