Bentley T1 Rally
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
You're one ride away from a good mood - Bentley.
Bentley and Rolls-Royce have been in bed together for a very long time. You would think they bit each other, but nothing could be further from the truth... The Rolls was for the English country gentleman who wanted to be driven to and from his hunting cottage as quietly and comfortably as possible without the mess of scone. Bentley was for the English country gentleman who wanted to drive himself. Thus, the 6.75 liter engine was fitted with larger twin SU carburetors and the suspension was a bit more severe. So we don't understand why the Bentley T1 was totally overshadowed by RR's body-sharing sister. In the end, only 568 British aristocrats chose the sporty(er) variant. So for the collector, much more desirable today! Do you still get it?
Well by now we have a few club members, almost all of whom thankfully have the necessary dose of humor. Thus, this previous owner decided to restore his T1, as it was perhaps really meant to be. End result? Roll cage, limited slip, four-point harnesses, spotlights and racing numbers! And the race number? Just estimate the year of construction of the car!
This Bentley T1 Rally is now on display at our clubhouse. Driver James likes it and is already waiting for you in the back seat. Will we see you soon?
