The ultimate 1990s Performance Bentley
1998 Bentley Continental T (RHD)
Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce. The elegant two-door coachwork, inspired by the highly collectable Continental R-Type of the 1950s, was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at just 2,200 rpm.
The car we proudly present to you today is a righthand drive 1998 model Continental T, finished in Black Sapphire with Champagne hide interior, Black Sapphire piping, top roll and steering wheel centre. The lower portion of the dashboard, centre console, rear parcel shelf and headlining are finished in Champagne hide.
Originally ordered by a Crown Arab Prince and supplied by HR Owen in London, this extremely well specified car features Burr Walnut, fully veneered door cappings, body coloured door mirror supports, body coloured headlamp surrounds, body coloured cheetah panels, seat switch surrounds in hide, dimple pattern to the seats and door arm rests and a diamond cut Matrix grille and mesh to the lower front spoiler and indicator extensions.
A truly stunning example of one of the most desirable Bentley’s ever, in a truly elegant colour combination, not to be missed at any cost.

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.
