- 79,500 gasoline silver automatic
The connolly interior is finished in mid blue with matching pale blue floor rugs. So it is not only the roof but a "lip" around the car ~ hence the term "top-hat". The bentley t ("t1 ") is the rare derivative of the silver shadow. It was the twin sister to the rolls-royce silver shadow and is differentiated by a bentley radiator grille, mascot and "flying b". Out of some 32,000 4 door rolls-royce silver shadow sedans produced, only 1,700 of these were bentley ts (that is only some 5% of the model series). This t1 bentley may well be 1 out of only a few dozen examples in the us in this very fine condition. The body is straight and the paint is of a good standard and finish. The paint presents very well; high in lustre and shine but there are some minor inconsistencies here and there. Nothing major, nor spectacularly wrong and hard to pick whilst "enjoying" the car so simply mentioned out of clear disclosure. Outside of that, the car displays only minimal little chip marks and imperfections. Fitments and finishes are in good standing; chrome, bright-work, glass, lights, lenses, handles, grille and badges. The interior of the car is in stunning presentation. The african burl walnut wood is spectacular. All the wood, dash, console, door cappings & vanity mirrors are in excellent condition with the doors having been refinished in their correct "satin" finish at some. The dash components are original & stunning. The rest of the interior is very clean & tidy requiring no attention. The connolly hide leather is superb showing just the right amount of patina. There are definitely no tears, wear or unsightly scratches or marks. The headliner is very clean and in perfect original condition, which is a vinyl known as "ambla" - only fitted to the early us spec sy (shadow/bentley t) cars. The dash board and rear parcel shelf are factory excellent. Carpets are clean and tidy and the trunk is pretty much perfect! All interior features and functions are fully operational including all electrics – seats, windows & gauges. The heater is hot and a/c blowing icy cold. Mechanically, the car is in superior condition & the presentation under the bonnet clearly shows that. It has not been “done-up” for sale but maintained in original condition which is very impressive for the age of the car. The car has been recently serviced. All hydraulics& brakes have been regularly serviced and recently inspected, pressure tested, bled & working perfectly – all heights are correct - there are no outstanding matters requiring attention. As expected of a fine example, the car comes with its correct jack, tool s& operating manual. At 79,800 miles, the mileage is not verifiable but the current condition makes it look exactly that. It is important to note, this bentley has not been "tarted-up" but simply very well looked after in original factory presentation. Anything repaired or attended to has been done so professionally and with pride & passion. Air Conditioning
