1967 Bentley T1
MotoeXotica is now offering this extremely rare 1967 Bentley T1 4 door saloon with silver and black two tone paint. From 1965 to 1977, only 1,703 T1 Bentleys were produced. And it has been meticulously maintained. This Bentley is in fantastic condition considering it is over 40 years old! This California car has power windows, power seats, power locks, power antenna, power steering and power brakes. This Car looks and drives beautifully. This vehicle does not show any signs of collision damage. There are no dings or rust visible on the exterior of this vehicle. Garages are made to protect automobiles and this vehicle shows it. It is obvious that this auto's previous owner took care of it, as it shows to be well maintained and in beautiful cosmetic condition. It is rare to find a vehicle with such a clean exterior. The engine is a 380 CU IN V8 and it starts with ease and does not smoke or sputter. The motor is attached to a 3 speed automatic with the shifter on the column. There is not a skip or slip, just pure smoothness in this vehicle's transmission.
The black interior is very clean and has front leather bucket seats, inside hood release, interval wipers, and wood trim. The leather is in great condition with some very minor wear showing. The wood dash looks great. All of the glass is in great condition and the windows roll up and down smoothly. The rear window does have a small 1 inch crack that is barely noticeable. Some of the rubber moldings are showing their age. There is an aftermarket detachable face AM/FM/CD Player that has been added. All the interior wood is in excellent condition which shows on some miner cracking.
The exterior is an eye catching silver and black, and has chrome bumpers, custom metallic paint, and steel belted white wall P225/75 R15 Radial tires on Bentley wheels. All of the tires are newer with lots of tread life left. The Bentley hubcaps are in good condition with no major imperfections. The paint is in excellent condition with no visible dents, dings, or rust. The bumpers and grill have no dents or dings and are beautiful chrome. The chrome grill has a couple of small scratches on it. The bumpers have a couple of very small chips and rust spots – no rot. There is a few minor blemishes in the paint, the most notable being a few cracks, chips and scratches. The trunk is very clean with a jack in very good condition. The power brakes work fine and the power steering is tight. It is a stately looking automobile that is sure to impress both young and old! The Bentley, being technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce, seems to have been bought mostly by owners wishing a little more understatement. The formerly more sportive image of Bentley motor cars differing from Rolls-Royces was gone by the time the Silver Shadow/Bentley T was introduced and thus couldn't motivate buyers any more. The outward appearance of a Bentley T is slightly more dynamic because the bonnet design is a few centimeters lower and the radiator shell shape with its rounded edges is smoother. In addition, the badging on wheel covers, boot lid and gauges featured Bentley motifs rather than Rolls-Royce ones. Standard features included electrically operated windows and electrically adjustable front seats. The VIN is SBX3346 and there are 52,189 miles showing. This car has a Mileage Exempt California Title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!! |
