Beschreibung

The current owner has extensive knowledge of older Bentleys and Rolls-Royces and is only parting with the Bentley to focus on a new Rolls-Royce project. The car has always been kept in top mechanical condition. A few years ago, the owner drove it on a round trip to the Northen Swedish border and regularly take it on 300 km journeys to visit friends. The car comes with a folder packed with Swedish history and recent invoices totaling many thousands of pounds for parts from specialist Flying Spares in the UK.

This inspection- and tax-exempt car features a 4-speed automatic transmission, sunroof, tinted windows, and an electrically heated rear window. It was imported from England in 1968. The engine is a 4.6-liter inline-six with 179 hp, providing plenty of power under the bonnet.

The car was renovated in Denmark in the 1980s, receiving new front wings, gauges with kilometers and Celsius readings, and a red repaint (originally two-tone Docker's Ivory and Maroon). After the renovation, the car was used sparingly until 1996, when it was taken off the road and stored in a warm garage for 23 years. Since then, it has undergone extensive overhauls, including a completely renovated braking system, an electronic ignition system with new wires and coil, new engine mounts, transmission mounts, and valve seals. Additionally, it has received new carpets, new hubcaps, a new SU dual electronic fuel pump, a modern oil filter, and new Avon Turbo Steel tires. The cooling system has been supplemented with an electric fan.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    There are no issues or fixes needed; it's ready to drive away. It comes with a complete and sought-after toolkit, nice wheels with gleaming hubs, and newer, expensive Avon tires.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    The interior is original, and opening the door greets you with the classic scent of old English leather and the beauty of wooden and leather trim. The leather seats have an older patina but no damage, except for a dry crack on the passenger side. The door cards, rear side trims, headliner, and carpets are all in good condition. Additional features include three fold-out picnic tables, a radio, an electrically heated rear window with a roller blind, and a sunroof. It offers a comfortable and relaxing luxury environment to sit back and enjoy.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    The older renovation was professionally done, as it still looks great today. The bodywork is straight with no rust problems, matched with a solid and well-maintained underbody. The paintwork has some touch-ups and stone chips, which is expected from frequent use on long trips (see pictures).

  • Zustand gesamt:

    This is a wonderful car in all aspects and a pleasure to drive. It has been highly maintained for the next owner, offering a great experience on the road. Remember, this car is meant to be driven and enjoyed, not tucked away in a museum.

Auktionsinfo

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
