BENTLEY R Saloon 1953 Swiss registration Chassis... - Lot 5 - Arteal
BENTLEY R Saloon 1953 Swiss registration Chassis number B13 8UM Displacement 4566 cm3 Power 85.0 kW First registration 03.01.54 Last expertise 22.09.2016 Mileage 26685 km The model is presented at the London Motor Show 1952 to replace the Bentley Mark VI. The name "R Type", comes from the prefix of the chassis that begin with "RT". This model, like its predecessor, was developed by the Rolls Royce design office, then headed by Ivan Evernden. The Type "R" retains the front of the Bentley Mark VI, up to the rear door. The rear part of the car was modified to increase the capacity of the trunk and to give more elegance by stretching the line. The result is very attractive. Until 1955, 2223 examples of this type were produced, mostly in right-hand drive.
