This Bentley T1 is a timelessly refined classic British luxury sedan, presented with an attractive colour scheme. Under the bonnet sits a 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce/Bentley L-Series V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. This example was originally a UK-delivered model, which was first registered in January 1973. The car was then imported into Australia in 1986. The odometer indicates 34,609 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1973 The ‘T’ series, a badge-engineered version of the Rolls-Royce 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 the appealing shade of Seychelles Blue, over a beige leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting blue carpets, a black dashboard, and wood veneer trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch steel wheels with body-coloured and chrome hubcaps, fitted with Sumitomo SC890 A/S whitewall tyres. Equipment includes a two-spoke steering wheel, Smiths gauges, electric windows, bi-lever heater and ventilation controls, a VDO analogue clock, twin fold-down front armrests, rear quarter light vanity mirrors, and rear passenger footrests. This example has been fitted with a Blaupunkt Miami CD stereo, a rear tow bar, and has been converted to dual fuel. The car comes with two keys, the owner’s manual, and a receipts file. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car is understood to have been repainted at some point in the past. There are now numerous blemishes on close inspection, with the worst being at the top of the doors where they meet the window frames. The carpets have been replaced, and the driver’s seat cushion could benefit from some attention. The seller notes that the car runs and drives well, but has not been tested for faults. Notable maintenance includes major work being carried out on the brakes in 2024, at a total cost of more than $15,000. This Bentley T1 is a sophisticated and elegant classic British luxury sedan, presented with an appealing colour scheme. With handsome styling, a sumptuous cabin, and a dependable V8 engine, it would make a solid addition to any assembly of British classics, and a charismatic companion for lavish weekend cruises and classic car show visits alike.
