1968 Bentley T1 For Sale

Bentley T1 1968

Chippendale dash model finished in Garnet with light grey hide and fine gold coach lines.

Tax exempt. (Historic classification.)

Mot exempt.

Grey lambs wool over rugs and foot rests, with grey carpets bound in grey leather. The leather has a nice aged patina.

The car is fitted with the more elegant and sought after Chippendale dash and rear picnic tables. The front and rear screen dress wood is also superb. (This usually suffers from sun damage.)

Rear inertia reel seat belts fitted. These are easily removed as the fixings are factory pre drilled. All original factory blanking caps and bolts are retained.

This car has the benefit of being fitted with the smoother and more modern GM400 three speed auto gear box.


Correct current style Avon Turbosteel new tyres fitted (as detailed on the original warranty)

Fully functioning ice cold air conditioning. The system has been re-gassed and overhauled by a refrigeration engineer who understands theses older systems.

Both small tool kit and jack and wheel brace bag retained in the boot. The feeler gauges are still wrapped in their original paper within the tool kit. There is also the correct Allen key for removing the flying B mascot. New boot carpet fitted in 1996.

Three master keys with two correct period Bentley tear drop rubber key rings. (These were designed so as to not the damage the wood work on the Chippendale dash when the key is in the ignition panel.)

Only 77K miles in 52 years, backed up by numerous invoices and mot’s. Invoices present from noted RR&B Specialist Association members such as P&A Wood and Stratton RR&Bentley confirming that the car has been in good hands over the years. Looked after by Silver Lady in Brentwood during my ownership.

Full chronology of owners within the file from the original delivery note from Jack Barclay to me.

The brake and hydraulic fluid has just been changed. Bilstein shock absorbers fitted replacing the inferior original Girlings. The stance of the car is correct and the sight glasses of the hydraulic reservoir are clear with the correct levels displayed. The all important brake pressure warning lights do not come on, even on cold start up.

All fluid levels are correct. Oil and filter Just changed, having now been done twice during my ownership. New spark plugs fitted when I first bought it. Coolant flush with new anti-freeze. New HT leads (genuine Crewe) and carbs serviced including new needles and jets. It starts when hot and cold in summer and winter. 300 + mile trip in summer, complete with traffic jam and no overheating. The car is driving correctly.

Correct period red owners manual.

The car retains the nice original chrome finish period radio unit, which is also depicted in the owners manual as standard equipment.

There is also an original sales brochure dated 1965.

Bentley T1’s are rare cars. My car has a nice integrity to it and feels very balanced all round. There are nice original details, such as the original spare fuse wire and metal pull out fuse diagram being still present in the fuse box, together with the feeler gauges still wrapped in their grease proof paper in the tool kit.

With it’s mileage, tasteful colour, the Chippendale dash and the GM400 gear box, not only make this car rarer still, but also considerably more desirable when compared to other configurations available during this period.

It is a surprisingly practical car to own, with everyday turn key usability, but most importantly, it is appreciating in value.

The Bentley was often sold to people who intended to drive by themselves (and not driven by a chauffeur), and had a more rounded bonnet to ...
