The E-Type was manufactured between 1961 and 1975, with Jaguarcreating a legend by combining good looks and high performance allat a competitive price. Established as an icon of 1960's motoringand a great success for Jaguar, more than 70,000 E-Types were soldduring its lifespan, around 60,000 of these were lefthand drivemainly destined for the USA. The Series I was introduced, initiallyfor export only, in March 1961, with the domestic market launchcoming four months later, in July of that year. The cars at thistime used the triple SU carburettor, 3.8-litre, six cylinder XKengine and non synchromesh gearbox from the XK150S plus some verypretty but upright and uncompromising seats. The 4.2 litre carswere introduced in October 1964 with the same power and top speedof 150mph, but with more torque from the larger engine, a brand newall synchromesh gearbox, some very comfortable seats and brakesmore in keeping with that advertised top speed. The 4.2 litre was afar better product and much easier to live with on a dailybasis.This superb example was the subject of a restoration which beganin 2007 with a bare metal respray and new bonnet. The engine,gearbox and axle were stripped down and rebuilt, also a new wiringloom was fitted as well as a new headlining.  This restorationwas completed in 2011 with only limited mileage being completedsince. The black leather interior is original and shows lovelyoriginal patina. Finished in red, this striking E-Type is inwonderful condition throughout and is ready to be enjoyed.

The car received a new4.0-litre version of the AJ6 engine. At the same time, the carbenefitted from a revision to the rear brakes; they were now fittedwith outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicatedinboard items on previous models. It also received a moreaerodynamic front and rear bumpers.This Jaguar XJS was originally supplied by Appleyard Jaguar inHarrogate on 4th September, 1992. After a recent period in storage,she has been re-commissioned and presents in very good order.

The invoice is presentin the file from the supplying dealer and the extras are listed asheated front seats, automatic transmission and cruise control withan 'on the road' price of £32,500. The original service books showshe had 15 services prior to a period of hibernation. A fresh MoTtest certificate accompanies this 4.0 coupé, together with a V5Cregistration document.

Land Rover Series III 88 Country

Lot # 131 (Sale Order: 31 of 136)      

The iconic Land Rover Series I, II, and III (commonly referredto as 'Series' Land Rovers, to distinguish them from later models)are off-road vehicles produced by the British manufacturer, LandRover.  Land Rover claim that 70% of the vehicles evermade are still in use today - a claim first made in the 1992brochure and repeated many times since.  This is a brave claimfor any motor manufacturer but judging by the mechanical efficiencyof this 1982 example, one that we would be reluctant to refute.This fantastically original 1982 Series III was originallysupplied to Land Rover UK Ltd, Solihull in May 1982 and used as ademonstrator until it was sold to its first keeper, a Mr. Bournefrom Toot Baldon. Mr Bourne has remained the keeper until this dayand as such for a Land Rover has covered very few miles, just54,500, from new. Since 1998, YDU 166X has been dry stored anddeclared SORN having seen little or no use. Earlier this year, itwas fully re-commissioned ready for a new owner. Boasting originalsafari top and wheels wrapped in new tyres this example has notbeen cannibalised like so many and holds a lovely patina just asany self-respecting Series III should. Offered with a V5registration document and new MoT test certificate until May 2018,this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a sought-after originalexample with low ownership and mileage, with Land Rover no longerproducing this type, this Series III can also be considered anappreciating British classic.

Aston Martin DB9

Lot # 133 (Sale Order: 33 of 136)      

The sleek superformed aluminium body of the DB9 was initiallydesigned by Ian Callum but had also been significantly influencedby the next director of AM design, Hendrik Fisker. It was poweredby a third generation version of the now familiar six litre, V12and has a top speed of 186mph. The DB9 was the first of what was tobecome a long line of production Aston Martins to use VHarchitecture; using superformed parts in the chassis and footwellas well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded orstamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded withstrong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight butstiff backbone. The DB9 body shell weighed 25% less than that ofthe DB7 but has double its torsional rigidity. This process alsoallowed Aston Martin to retain high levels of engineering accuracyin producing a car at a higher volume, ensuring chassis performanceto match the engine power. Aston Martins have always made theinterior of their cars to be very special places. The fine detailof finishing is typified by the starter button made of glass andsand etched with the Aston Martin wings logo.This lovely low mileage example is presented in Chiltern Greenwith  light Stone  leather interior and comes with a fullAston Martin service history, including a fully stamped servicehandbook. The last full service was carried out by Lancaster AstonMartin less than two thousand miles ago.  Its interior isnicely finished with walnut cappings on the doors and facia,satellite navigation, parking sensor and tyre pressure monitor. Atimeless classic with exhilarating performance.

Bentley Continental R

Lot # 134 (Sale Order: 34 of 136)      

Though launched at the Geneva Salon of 1991, many elements ofthe John Heffernan/Ken Greenley-penned Continental R had been seenat the same event as far back as 1984, when Bentley unveiled theirProject 90' concept car; a suitably enthusiastic reception leadingthe company to develop the car for production. Clearly the Sultanof Brunei approved of the end result, as he bought the 1991 showcar at the exhibition. The new car was based on the Turbo Rfloor-pan and powered by that model's 6.75-litre turbocharged V8engine, which was believed (the Rolls-Royce/Bentley company of theday never quoted horsepower figures) to produce in the region of325bhp. Whatever, it was sufficient to give a top speed of some145mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of around 6.6 seconds - nomean performance for a car weighing in at some 2.5 tons and thebest of any Bentley in its day. The engine drove through the thennew 4-speed GM 4L80-E transmission. Unlike all other Bentleys sincethe S3 of 1965, its body was unique to the marque and not sharedwith any model of Rolls-Royce. The Continental R was produced from1991 to 2003, during which time some 1,290 examples were made.This Bentley Continental R was purchased by the vendor in 2012just after the car had been serviced, the brakes were fullyoverhauled and the car repainted, the mileage at that time was alittle over 82,000 miles and was at a cost of over £8,500.00. Sincethen the car has had very little use, only been driven a further3,000 miles been taken off the road for the last two years. Tobring this Continental R to the sale it has been mechanicallychecked through, given a full service to Bentley service scheduleB, had new front, rear and hand brake pads fitted, new fan beltsand both rear lights replaced. Also, both rear road spring lowersecuring cups have been cut out and new replacement parts fitted.Finished in metallic Royal blue coachwork with dark blue-pipedparchment leather interior and birds eye maple veneered woodworkthis Bentley is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoTtest certificate which expires in June 2018, the service book packincluding the service book and invoices.

Aston Martin DBS V8

Lot # 138 (Sale Order: 38 of 136)      

From 1970 through to 1972, Aston's flagship model was the DBSV8. Although the body and name was shared with the six-cylinderDBS, the V8 sold for much more. The V8 engine had begun developmentin the mid sixties when it was first used in a Lola Sports racingcar with a view to replacing the six cylinder unit which had beenin production since the DB4 in 1958. Aston Martin had converted aDB5 with an early V8 engine which was used for many thousands ofdevelopment miles by the factory to create a usable and powerful 8cylinder engine to be used in the new the DBS model thatwas due for production in 1968. Unfortunately the engine wasn'tready in time for the launch of the DBS and went on sale fittedwith the six cylinder engine used in the DB6. In 1971, the DBS V8was launched, fitted with the long awaited Tadek Marek designed V8;an engine which powered all Aston Martin models until the launch ofthe DB7 in the early nineties. The body was a modernreinterpretation of the traditional Aston Martin look, with asquared-off grille and four headlights. Distinguishing features ofthe V8 model are the larger front air dam and lack of wire wheels,although some six-cylinder DBS cars also used the V8's alloywheels. The tail lights were taken from the Hillman Hunter. A DBSV8 was to be used by Roger Moore in the television show, 'ThePersuaders!'. The Heritage Trust Certificate confirms this car is a genuinerighthand drive example fitted with its original engine andfinished in its rare and desirable colour scheme of Caribbean Bluewith a dark blue interior; only 3 DBS V8's were finished inCarribbean Blue. Built on the 3rd February 1971 and dispatched thefollowing day, the certificate confirms it was factory fitted withair conditioning, Fiamm horns, Radiomobile Voxson stereo, doormirror, DBS V8 continental parts kit, Waso steering lock, Pirelliradial tyres and dark blue carpet. The vendor confirms the car has covered 61,500 miles and has had4 previous owners throughout its life which can be verified withsupporting documentation. The car has recently benefitted from afull service by renowned Aston specialist Rikki Cann at a totalcost of £2,912 and has only covered 800 miles since.  Invoicesdetailing the work can be found in the history file. A new,handmade Hayward and Scott sports exhaust system is fitted and thewheels have been refurbished and shod with 4 new Avon tyres.Testament to the car's condition, it was part of a feature by AVMagazine. Supplied with a V5 document, Heritage Certificate and MoTtest certificate valid until March 2018 with no advisories. Thiswas the last model to be produced under the David Brown regime and,as with the earlier DB models, is fast becoming a very collectableand appreciating asset.

BMW E9 CSi

Lot # 139 (Sale Order: 39 of 136)      

BMW introduced a new two-door coupé that was built for BMW by Karmann in 1968 and production lasted until 1975. Named internally as the BMW E9, the first model to be produced was the 2800 CS which replaced the earlier 2000 C and 2000 CS coupé models. The wheelbase and length were increased to allow the engine bay to be long enough to accommodate the new straight-six engine, code-named M30, and the front of the car was restyled to resemble the E3 sedan. The 2800 CS used the 2,788cc version of the engine used in the E3 sedans and produced 170hp. Not only was the 2800 CS lighter than the preceding 2000 CS, it also had a smaller frontal aspect, further increasing the performance advantage. The 2800CS was replaced by the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi in 1971. The engine had been bored out to give a displacement of 2,986. It was offered with twin carburettors in the 3.0 CS which produced 180hp, or with fuel injection in the 3.0 CSi which produced 200hp. Both cars were available as either a four speed manual or automatic. Performance of both the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi was very competitive compared with contemporaries. Finished in Fjord Metallic with complimentary blue leather interior, a colour combination that is well suited, this example is a very rare CSi edition. Owned by the current vendor for the past 10 years, in 2009 he commissioned renowned BMW specialists Jaymic to complete a full mechanical restoration, this involved all pipes, electrics, and hoses replacing, an engine rebore and new pistons. The CSi has covered just 4,000 miles since and bills in the history files amounting to over £10,000. In late 2016 the decision was undertaken in consultation with a prominent BMW enthusiast club member that further restoration including a bare metal repaint, re-chroming, new windscreen and runners, full wheel refurbishment with new tyres, new leather interior re-trim with all wooden trim fully refurbished would all take place. The suspension has also been overhauled with new Bilstein shocks absorbers and the cylinder head replaced and rebuilt at a cost of £1,600 before the fuel injection system was upgraded. The old fuel pressure sensors were therefore removed and replaced with a the new Emerald modern electronic fuel management system so to be more compliant with modern fuel. Finally the engine bay was detailed before a tally up revealed £15,000 of further expense. Having been always garaged, the vendor recently had a compression test which can be found in the history file showing 170psi from the four speed manual as it would have done from factory, quite an achievement for a 44 year old vehicle and credit to both the owner and Jaymic. Having been comprehensively restored under the stewardship of a prominent BMW enthusiast club member with no expense spared and benefiting from the purity of a manual gear box, this is a wonderful opportunity to own an increasingly sought-after car.

Ford Mustang Shelby 500 Fastback

Lot # 141 (Sale Order: 41 of 136)      

Carroll Shelby, the renegade Texan who built and sold thelegendary 289 Cobra, had the idea to apply the Shelby touch toFord's hot, new Mustang. It was a match made in heaven. Shelby tookout the grille and put a pair of high-beam lights in the cavity,rear lights were replaced by rectangular units, and the air scoopswere punched into the side coves, ahead of the rear wheels. Thefirst Shelby Mustang - the GT350 - arrived in 1965 powered by amodified version of Ford's 289ci (4.7-litre) small-block V8producing 306bhp. A four-speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox was thestock transmission on early Shelby Mustangs, though a heavy-duty,three-speed automatic soon became available as an option. Therunning gear was appropriately up-rated to cope with the GT350'sincreased performance, incorporating the front disc brakes,stronger Ford Galaxie rear axle, Koni adjustable shock absorbersand alloy wheels. Outwardly there was little to distinguishShelby's GT350 from the standard product apart from a pair of broad'racing' stripes down the body centreline. On the open road therewas, of course, no comparison. When the factory introduced a 390ci'big-block' V8 option on the Mustang for 1967, Shelby went onebetter, installing Ford's 428ci (7.0-litre) Cobra Jet V8 to createthe GT500, one of the great, iconic muscle cars of the 1960s.Produced initially at Shelby's Los Angeles facility and from 1968at the Company's plant in Michigan, the Shelby Mustang continued tobe based on the stock version, receiving the latter's stylingchanges and mechanical improvements while retaining its owndistinctive special features, until production ended in 1970.This genuine Shelby GT 500 has been restored to a magnificentstandard and as such presents in magnificent condition. The bluepaintwork is blemish free, with uniform panel gaps and the interiorhas been re-trimmed to a superb standard. The car was imported intothe UK in 1997 and Muscular Restorations in Milton Keynes havecarried out extensive work on OHN982E with some significantinvoices confirming the level of investment in this rare andinteresting American muscle car. The 428cu inch engine is spotlessand runs exceedingly well, the vendor and previous keepers haveleft no stone unturned in achieving a car finished to the higheststandard. Supplied with V5C registration document and a superbhistory folder, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciatethe quality of this outstanding vehicle.

Bentley Turbo R

Lot # 142 (Sale Order: 42 of 136)      

The Bentley Turbo R was a high-performance model produced from1985 to 1997 with a total of 7230 built in the 12 year productionperiod. The 'R' stood for 'Roadholding', to set it apart from itspredecessor, the Mulsanne and also sported a revised suspensionwith wider tyres on alloy wheels; a first for a Bentley. Thesuspension changes, although seemingly subtle, transformed the softand less than well-controlled ride of the Mulsanne into that of areal performer. This was achieved by increasing the anti-roll barrates in the front and rear and by increasing the damping. APanhard rod to anchor the rear suspension was also introduced,reducing side-to-side movement in corners. The Turbo R was soldalongside the Mulsanne Turbo for a short time although the Mulsannewas taken out of production in 1985. For the 1987 model year, theTurbo R received anti-lock brakes and Bosch fuel injectionreplacing the Solex carburettors. This one-owner Bentley was originally registered on12th May, 1989 and has covered only 23,000 miles duringits 28 years on the road. With 12 stamps in the service book, noexpense has been spared in keeping this Turbo R in virtually newcondition. The green coachwork is unmarked as is the sumptuousinterior. With ample legroom and what seems like a never endingsupply of power, this Turbo R is an exceptional car to drive or bedriven in. Supplied with the original service books, a V5Cregistration document together with a current MoT test certificatevalid until 4th January, 2018, this is without doubt asplendid example of one of Crewe's finest creations.

Austin A90 Atlantic

Lot # 143 (Sale Order: 43 of 136)      

The Atlantic was one of the first post-war cars engineered fromscratch by Austin, almost certainly influenced by a 1946Pininfarina-bodied Alfa Romeo cabriolet. With the then Governmentedict of "Export or die", and steel allocated only to those whogenerated much needed dollar revenue, the Atlantic was designedspecifically to appeal to North American tastes. Featuringup-to-the-minute detailing, a centrally mounted third headlightthat was built into the letter-box style air intake grille and thethen unheard of luxury of hydraulically powered windows. As itsfinal party trick, the centre section of the three piece, wraparound, rear window, could be lowered into the boot, for addedventilation by a remote winder above the front windscreen. Fewpeople in the car's native Britain would have ever seen anythinglike the futuristically-styled Atlantic before.  With only a few thousand produced over two and a half years,they became rare even after the 1960's with a rough estimate ofunder 60 units surviving today. This particular Austin Atlantic waspurchased from new at Ripco of Marble Arch, London on 24 April,1952 by Lord Worsley, the Earl of Yarborough. After a year, LordWorsley sold the car to Ian Sangwin a Paper Mill owner and fromthen until 1981, the Atlantic was passed around the family toRonald Pakefield-Smith, the Company Director in 1954, then in 1965to his brother-in-law, William Perrin before selling in 1970 to hisson Keith Perrin. In April 1981, it was eventually sold to Den Barlow, well lookedafter and used every day. Dan,  who is the Austin Atlanticowners club founder, decided at time of purchase the car was to bestripped to a bare chassis and every component meticulously rebuiltto new or replaced by new, a project that would take three and ahalf years and eventually be documented in August 1988's issue ofRestoring Classic Cars magazine, a copy of which can be found inthe history file. It would also become the benchmark for AustinAtlantic restorations used to this day. Many original components restored or replaced such as the periodKenlowes which were available through the Austin Agents as agenuine after sales purchase. The car has had certain sympatheticmodifications, the cylinder head was modified to run on unleadedpetrol and special valve stem seals installed  to cut down oilburning, brakes now have silicone fluid that prevents moistureseeping into the system and a stainless steel exhaust system wasalso fitted. The car is well known having appeared on TV, inmagazines and newspaper articles and recently the car hasbenefitted from new X -ply tyres, a new clutch and vapour lock kit.Not only is this a true collectable example it is also regularlydriven by the current owner, as a significant car in the history ofthe marque and, given the rarity of Atlantics, this is a rareopportunity to purchase an example with such fantasticprovenance.?

Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I

Lot # 144 (Sale Order: 44 of 136)      

In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to designa twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearancewas at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soonafter, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine'sdevelopment, Walter Hayes at Ford asked Colin Chapman to fit thetwin cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation.Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina asit became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two-door bodyshells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered themechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1,558cc enginealong with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpersand Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a newcentre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position,different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated atachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuelgauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.This Lotus Cortina Mk. I had the mechanics fullyre-commissioned in 2014 after being in dry storage for nineyears. It was purchased by the previous vendor about 19 yearsago from a fund management company who had the car professionallyrestored in the early 1980's and then put into storage as aninvestment. The current owner purchased the car about three yearsago and since has refurbished the wheels and the engine bay withattention being paid to the mechanics. Finished in the classicLotus Cortina colours of white with green strip and black interior,this Mk. I is supplied with a V5C registration document, a letterfrom the Lotus Cortina Register confirming the provenance andvalue, a list of all the previous owners, with the first being acaptain in the British army, a letter from a previous owner withsome photographs from the early 1980's and some old MoT testcertificates. The Lotus Cortina, quite rightly, earned an awesomereputation in its day and these models are now highly prized; thisis an opportunity to acquire an iconic piece of motoringcompetition history in superb condition throughout.

Rolls-Royce 20/25 Touring Saloon by Park Ward

Lot # 145 (Sale Order: 45 of 136)      

A logical progression from Rolls-Royce's first owner driver'model, the 20hp, the 20/25hp was introduced in 1929 and remained inproduction until 1936. Near identical to its forebear, at least tobegin with, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of speed thanks toan enlarged 3669cc, overhead valve, straight-six engine. Fed by asingle Rolls-Royce carburettor and carrying both magneto and coilignition, the super-smooth power plant was mounted in unit with afour-speed manual gearbox (the latter operated via a traditionalright-hand change). Capable of supporting a wide variety ofcoachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis wasequipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension,four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. This strikingly handsome Park Ward saloon was originallysupplied by Agnew Graham in Belfast; the invoice price being aneye-watering £1,537-17s-3d. The body is by Park Ward and is similarto the Rolls-Royce test car 20-G-IV 'The Goshawk'. After beingfound in a sorrowful state in 1998 by Professor Ian Craft, he thenset about restoring the car. The current vendor has owned theRolls-Royce since 2007 and has lovingly cherished her. Being a veryfastidious owner, he wasn't happy with the way she was running andput CZ 2002 into Sargeants of Goudhurst for a full engine rebuild.Invoices for over £45,000 are available confirming the significantinvestment this 20/25 has benefitted from in recent years. Thetwo-tone blue coachwork is in good order and the ample chromeworkis delightful as is the red leather interior. With style, class andopulence in abundance, this Rolls-Royce 20/25 by Park Ward ispowered by a 3669cc straight-six engine and we are advised drivesextremely well. Supplied with a V5C registration document and asignificant history folder, this pre-war Rolls-Royce is one of thebest examples we have seen for some time.

They were extremely elegant andimmediately caught the eye of the discerning motorist, thiscombined with the ability to enclose the drive-train in some of themost exquisite coachwork available at the time, proved a hugesuccess for Bentley Motors. Originally manufactured by Barkers & Co, recommendedcoachbuilders of Rolls-Royce and constructor of the world-famous40/50 Silver Ghost, it began life as a four-door saloon deliveredon the 13th August, 1934. Its lucky new owner was none other thanHer Royal Highness, Princess Arthur of Connaught. Her husband, Prince Arthur of Connaught, was a British militaryofficer and a grandson of Queen Victoria. He served asGovernor-General of the Union of South Africa from 1920 to 1924.With a mother who was Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, it islittle surprise that he grew up in rather privileged circles.Windsor Castle being bigger than the average maternity ward. Indeedhe was the first member of the British Royal family to be educatedat Eton College. He went on to Sandhurst and was subsequentlycommissioned into the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars in 1901. He sawaction during the Second Boer War and became the honoraryColonel-in-Chief to this regiment in 1920. During the Second WorldWar, he served as aide-de-camp to Generals Sir John French and SirDouglas Haig, the successive commanders of the BritishExpeditionary Force in France and Belgium and ending his career asthe Honorary Major General and aide-de-camp to his first cousin,King George V. On 15 October 1913, Prince Arthur married his cousin PrincessAlexandra, 2nd Duchess of Fife at the Chapel Royal, St. James'sPalace, London. Princess Alexandra held the title of Duchess ofFife in her own right and was the eldest daughter of the late Dukeof Fife and The Princess Royal, the eldest daughter of King EdwardVII. After their marriage, Arthur and Alexandra were styled TheirRoyal Highnesses Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught.It was to the Princess that this Bentley was delivered and it isbelieved to have been used regularly by her and her son during herownership.From correspondence, it is thought to have suffered some firedamage to the bodywork in the 1960s and it was then that the bodywas re-configured by a Mr. J.E.W. Sparrowhawk to a more modernsporting format whilst still utilising all necessary parts from theoriginal car.The vendor, a collector of note with once a DB5 and a FrazerNash parked alongside this most elegantly bodied Bentley, acquiredthe car as a rolling chassis in 1991 with much work completed onthe running gear and a new ash frame in the style of a Vanden Plasopen tourer fitted.  Work then began on the body your see hereby noted specialist, Simon Dunsford who previously had worked forLynx Engineering in Hastings building C and D-Type Jaguars. Withthe ash frame coming from James E. Pearce of Wisborough Green,Billingshurst, West Sussex, the new coachwork took over two years.The lines are extremely good and the profile superb. Much thoughthas been given to the cockpit detail and the overall quality ofworkmanship is excellent. As a Sussex car, it is entirely naturalfor it to be looked after respected Bentley specialists, Sergeantsof Goudhurst. With a strong history in their very capable hands,the car has a clean bill of health with a new crownwheel, pinionand clutch fitted in 1998, as well as a total re-wire in 2006.Supplied with full weather equipment, some spares and a healthyhistory file, this 'silent sportscar' has been very well puttogether, is reported to drive beautifully and has a privilegedhistory to match.

Bentley T2

Lot # 149 (Sale Order: 49 of 136)      

The Bentley T-Series was the Bentley badged version of theRolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two door saloonwith coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward. The Bentleydiffered from its Rolls-Royce equivalent by its more rounded frontgrill, while the badging on the wheel covers, boot lid and gaugesnaturally featured Bentley motifs rather than the Rolls-Roycelogo.  In October 1966, the 'T' saloon's pre-tax 'list price'of £5,375 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley wastechnically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce and seemed to havebeen purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understatedluxury saloon. The earlier sporting image of Bentley motor carsdiffering from Rolls-Royces had gone by the time the SilverShadow/Bentley 'T' was introduced and this was no longer a primaryreason to purchase a Bentley over the Rolls-Roycesibling. Owned by the current vendor for the last 17 years and only beingsold due to some health issues, this Bentley was originallyregistered on 14th February 1979. The fastidious vendorhas had her well maintained by a Bentley specialist and as such,she presents and drives with no known faults. Accompanying FRX425Tis a collection of MoT test certificates's confirming the mileageto be correct. Finished in Seychelles blue with magnolia interiorand fitted with front headrests, this Bentley is supplied with aV5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate validuntil 7th May 2018. With Rolls-Royce Silver Shadowprices increasing significantly of late, why not consider the evenrarer Bentley option.
