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
grill. while the badging on the wheel covers. boot lid and gauges
naturally featured Bentley motifs rather than the Rolls-Royce
logo. In October 1966. the 'T' saloon's pre-tax 'list price'
of £5. 75 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley was
technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce and seemed to have
been purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understated
luxury saloon. The earlier sporting image of Bentley motor cars
differing from Rolls-Royces had gone by the time the Silver
Shadow/Bentley 'T' was introduced and this was no longer a primary
reason to purchase a Bentley over the Rolls-Royce sibling.

This striking Bentley T2 was supplied by Kennings Ltd in
Sheffield to His Grace. the Duke of Devonshire on 14th June 1978. A
copy of the original build sheet when the car was first
commissioned. together with the final assembly inspection report
are included in the substantial history file. The Masons black
coachwork is in very good order and the beige trim virtually
unmarked. It is obvious that KCX 480S has been lovingly cared for.
Our brief test drive confirmed this. as she drove beautifully with
no faults apparent. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a
current MoT test certificate valid until 8th October 2014. Bentley
T2s are becoming increasingly rare. Examples of this quality and
heritage are very difficult to find.
