Bentley R-Type Standard Steel Saloon '54 CHb37wg
18 950 € EUR

The 1954 Bentley R-Type embodies the British luxury and refinement of the 1950s. As the successor to the Mark VI, it combines timeless elegance with a powerful 4.6-litre straight-six engine. This example remains largely original and forms an excellent basis for restoration. With its stylish grey bodywork, authentic interior and unmistakable Bentley charm, it is a valuable project for enthusiasts.
