Short Story:

The Bentley T 2 somehow gave off that the company had been vague whether Bentley should keep an individual identity. Support for the marque inside the company had

deteriorate

over recent years. During the prototype stadium of the

Rolls Royce

Silver Shadow the parallel development of a separate new Bentley model had been aborted. Only early models of the Bentley T 1 had shown engine valve covers embossed with the inscription "Bentley" - later models showed the name "Rolls-Royce" on the valve covers. And the Bentley T 2 went one step further because the instruments on the facia carried the Rolls-Royce logo of entwined RR instead of the Bentley-B.

It was one of the few cars from Rolls-Royce which were not considered for export to the USA. Sales of Bentley in that market had been microscopic anyway and Rolls-Royce saved the outlay to introduce the Bentley T 2 there (although several new Bentley T 2 were reported later to have found their way to the USA) . But resurgence was just around the corner and in retrospective - having experienced the brilliant success of the Bentley marque during the 80 s - it is open to speculation if the Bentley T 2's only problem has been poor marketing by Rolls-Royce?
