A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original vehicle with low owners and great history.
The Bentley T-Series is an automobile which was produced by Bentley Motors Limited in the United Kingdom from 1965 to 1980. It was announced and displayed for the first time at the Paris Motor Show on 5 October 1965 as a Bentley-badged version of the totally redesigned chassis-less Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
The Bentley T series was available as a four-door saloon and as a long wheelbase four-door saloon. A small number of two-door saloons were built with coachwork.
The vehicle has a chippendale dashboard.
The T series is the first Bentley (or Rolls-Royce) without a separate chassis. It is totally different from its predecessor the S series.
