1953 Bentley R-Type-Based V8-engined, Automatic Special
A very well built special, with an all aluminium body, excellent panel work and high quality paintwork. Stylish and sporty in design, with a purposeful look! Excitingly, the car is fitted with a 6250cc V8 engine from a Bentley S2 which – combined with the lightweight body, make for exhilarating performance. The automatic transmission makes the car easy to drive without taking away the performance and fun aspect. Nicely finished in British Racing Green with green leather, and equipped with a hood, tonneau cover, and aero screens. Wolfrace wheels and radial tyres make for better handling that cross plies as originally fitted to R Types, but then again, it is not like a standard car at all! Looks, fun and usability in a compact package.
If you watch the video below to the end, you will see links to two more: One ‘walkaround’, and one of the engine. Worth seeing!
