About this car

The Bentley T2 was the last of the Silver Shadow-derived line, with rack-and-pinion steering and tauter hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension over the original. This 1981 car is finished in Caribbean Blue Metallic over Luxan Beige leather. It appeared in the BBC sitcom White Gold between 2017 and 2019.

The odometer shows about 93,000 miles. The current owner bought it from Hanwells of London in July 2021 at 82,051 miles. A service booklet and invoices cover work from 1986 onwards, with the latest services by Bentley and Rolls-Royce specialist N Sandell. The last two invoices total more than £7,500.

The leather was re-Connolised in 2015 and 2016. Options include front and rear head restraints, and the car has been re-lit with Cibie headlamps and blue dash LEDs. The air conditioning was serviced in 2024. It comes with an advisory-free MoT and an independent condition report dated July 2026.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce/Bentley never published power ("adequate"). Only the published 6.75L V8 and layout are given. T2 production ended in 1980, so a 1981 car is likely a late registration.).

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