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. 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 former 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 charming Bentley was originally owned by the late
9th Duke of Roxburghe whose ancestral home was the
magnificent Floors Castle. The green coachwork of this Bentley is
in excellent order. the tan leather trim is unmarked and the deep
rich walnut wood has recently been refurbished. Mechanically this
T1 is in splendid condition. with the car driving in a manner
commensurate with such a marque. The silent cruising. comfort. br/>style and prestige of this outstanding Bentley T1 combine to make
this a highly sought after and desirable car. With only 1. 03
examples manufactured. a Bentley T1 in this splendid regal colour
combination and in such delightful condition. will always be highly
prized and sought after.
