1954 Bentley R
1954 Bentley R
The Bentley R replaced the Mark VI and was available in standard body or coachbuilt versions. The Bentley R is the sister car and is nearly identical to the Rolls Royce Silver Dawn.
Why This Car Is Special
This Bentley is in excellent condition and is a well-documented example of what you'd hope to find in a Bentley R. It is incredibly clean inside and out with a fantastically rich color combination.
Mechanical
An iron block / aluminum head on a straight 6 engine powers this beauty down the road. It is just shy of 279 cubic inches and 4.6 liter displacement and is backed by a 4-speed automatic shifted on the column. It has an independent front suspension with coil shocks and semi-elliptic leaf springs in the rear providing a nice smooth ride.
Interior
Talk about plush. The interior of this Bentley is as comfortable as they come in 1954. Leather seats and door panels with stunning wood dash and accents really feel rich. You are reminded of what you're riding in with the Bentley logo on the brake pedal and the gauges.
Exterior
This 4-door sedan is painted in a stunning two-tone Silver that really accents the body lines. With Bentley logos on the bumpers and more chrome than a Harley convention, no one will miss you driving by in this beauty. The body lines are powerful yet feminine on this great example of vintage luxury. Every angle excites and unveils new details to the eye.
Conclusion
This is not a car we come across every day. Rolls Royce and Bentley are always crowd pleasers, and this one shows why that is. Phenomenal craftsmanship, gorgeous looks and an interior that is unmatched in comfort and style.
So, give us a call at 941-254-6608.
