This Bentley T1 is an elegant classic luxury saloon, believed to have been preserved as per the original factory specification. It is powered by a 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce/Bentley L-Series V8, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The Bentley was produced in significantly lower numbers than its Rolls-Royce counterpart, with approximately 1,703 T1s built compared to 16,717 Silver Shadows. The odometer indicates 59,756 miles. This particular T1 has television provenance, having recently appeared in the Disney’s mini series ‘The Clearing’, driven by the character played by actor Guy Pearce. The ‘T’ series, a badge-engineered version of the Silver Shadow, was the first unibody Bentley, and featured a new steel and aluminium monocoque body with subframes to mount the engine and suspension. While smaller overall than previous models, it had more passenger room, particularly in the rear compartment, and more luggage space. Due to being fitted with the traditional round-shouldered Bentley-style front grille (its sole material styling difference from the Silver Shadow), it was also slightly lower at bonnet height. The 'T' also featured independent suspension on all four wheels with automatic height control according to loading. This example is finished in a combination of Shell Grey and Tudor Grey, and the cabin is trimmed in red leather complete with wooden inlays. It rides on a set of 15-inch wheels with polished centres, fitted with whitewall tyres. Equipment includes a period-correct Philips stereo, electric windows, and rear vanity mirrors. Accompanying the sale is the original owner’s manual, supplements, and original guarantee document. Please note: the car is currently unregistered and sold on that basis. However, the registration ’70 T’ is available by separate negotiation. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: numerous chips and marks across the paintwork, and general age-related wear within the cabin. Areas of the car have reportedly been repainted over the years, and new Wilton carpets were fitted in 2024. This Bentley T1 is an elegant classic saloon, featuring an attractive two-tone exterior finish and understood to be in largely original condition save for some minor cosmetic touch-ups over the course of its lifetime. As one of very few Australian-delivered examples – and with a recent TV series appearance to its name – it would make a charming addition to any enthusiast’s stable, and a fun companion for weekend jaunts and visits to various car shows and events.
