The Bentley T-Series was the Bentley badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two-door saloon with coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward. The Bentley differed from its Rolls-Royce equivalent by its more rounded front grille and different bonnet while the badging on the wheel covers, boot lid and gauges naturally featured Bentley motifs. In October 1966, the ‘T’ saloon's pre-tax 'list price' of £5,375 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley was technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce with the same Rolls Royce engine and seemed to have been purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understated and sporting luxury saloon.

First registered on 11th November 1978 this Bentley T has been owned by the noble vendor since 1982, Originally supplied to Ireland, he bought the car for £17,000 on lease from Jack Alp. Having been kept off the road for most of the time under his ownership, it will require some recommissioning. Stored with a silicon engine additive, the vendor believes it should turn freely. In the vendor’s ownership the car has been repainted in the Silver we see now and the cream leather interior appears to be in good condition. Supplied with V5C registration document, original service book and radio books. To find a T with such long and only three previous keepers, this Bentley T offers a fabulous project for someone.
