1953 Bentley R Type MK VI 4 1/4 Standard Steel Saloon – Restoration Project – SOLD

Offered for sale is this grand old Bentley, offered in need of total restoration/recommissioning.

Originally finished in Black/Maroon but has been repainted at some stage in this rather interesting green hue, it is certainly eye-catching but does have various marks and cracking to the paint all round.

Not currently running but the engine does turn over, it has been in storage for a number of years so will need a complete going over mechanically, the brakes are not stuck on so the car rolls freely.

Interior will require TLC (see photos), wear to seats, musty smelling and will need new carpets etc but looks to be largely complete.

The chassis does look to be solid underneath.

The registration mark ‘NXC 1’ no longer comes with the vehicle, it is now registered as ‘313 UYH’. Acquired as part of a large Bentley/Rolls Royce collection, it did not come with any keys unfortunately.

Registered as a historic vehicle so MOT/tax exempt.

Overall an ideal opportunity for restoration or to transform into a ‘special’ perhaps?

We can assist with delivery for a reasonable cost, once the car has been paid for.

A £250 non-refundable holding deposit secures this car.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for looking.
