Bentley R type 1951
General description :
1951 Bentley Park Ward Coupe RHDThis 1951 Bentley Park Ward Coupe RHD is an absolutely lovely car wearing a quality older restoration that has held up very well over the years. Grey and burgundy with grey connolly hides. This fixed-head-coupe is Design no 147. Park Ward made only 34 examples of this design. Structurally solid with excellent door-fit, chassis B398MD is a straight and clean example just out of long-term 40 year ownership. Mechanically superb, the coupe fires right up and runs strong and quiet. The older paint job still shows very nicely as does the chrome and interior wood. A very good car that exudes honesty and integrity. This Bentley has clearly been loved and cared for throughout its lifetime and it shows. A great addition to any collection and a fantastic car to drive and be seen in. Price: $79,500

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
