SUMMARY
On offer from 52 years of ownership with recent works amounting to some £14,000 by marque specialists RR&B, the history file is a delight.
DESCRIPTION
- First registered on 11/02/1964 as one of just 1,286 examples of the third, final and best iteration of the Series
- Reduced weight and the new 6.2-litre V8 improved acceleration and raised the top speed to 115mph
- Purchased by our vendor in 1972, the history file includes the handbook, main dealer receipts from 1975, 'buff' logbook and current V5C
- Historic MOT Certificates, dating from the 1970s, evidence that the odometer has gone 'around the clock'
- Regretfully offered to auction by our elderly vendor who has spent some £14,000 with marque specialists RR&B to ready the car for its next custodian
- The twin headlights provide some 'Swinging Sixties' glamour and the patinated leather and refurbished woodwork are a delight
- Offered with its original tool kit, a fresh MOT prior to the sale and very sensibly guided, this could be a great entrée into classic Bentley ownership
