Lover of rare British classics and you have very deep pockets? Who knows, these fit R Type Continental Fastback 1954 or in your street.

The appearance is not the only strong asset of this specific Bentley. This is only one of the three built with the steering wheel on the right side and with an automatic gearbox. Of course you have no ass to those two features, but you can at least safely assume that this Conintenal Fastback is a great investment.

Rolls-Royce was at that time the chassis and the coachwork was hand made from aluminum whipped by Mulliner & Co. In addition, the car is equipped with a for that time quite modern touches such as electric windows. So far the good news, because you’ll understand that this particular thing is not for a song on your driveway is shining.

Silverstone Auctions expects the Bentley during the NEC Classic Motor Show, in any case, a million is desired to take and that’s given the current state (ZGAN) no wonder. In addition, the later R Type, which (among other things) a larger engine under the hood, compared to its predecessors. Only reasons, so it is nice to dream further.
