Story and History

1980 Bentley T2 - 56.000 miles only

An immaculate example, as you would expect with this low mileage, complete with a magnificent history folder and the original build and test sheets from Crewe

Supplied in December 1980, so one of the last, by Mann Egerton & Co and finished in Shell Grey with Red interior - simple as that

Today you are faced with choices such as Hallmark and Hotspur - make sense of those if you will

Anyhow I digress - this T2 is one of the nicest driving cars, probably because of regular and correct maintenance

Jack Barclay having given her a top end overhaul 2 years ago - simply because the owner wished for her to be as quiet as possible, which she is

The bi-level air conditioning system provides more than ample amounts of freezing cold air, has been converted to CFC free and recently re-charged

Lambswool rugs are all new, including one for the boot compartment and the original radio has been replaced with a Kenwood touch screen system incorporating all of the usual modern facilities - blue tooth, navigation, iPod etc etc

As when new, she still wears the correct Avon blackwall tyres and rear quarter badges have been added at some point, as have front seat head rests, picnic tables for the rear and a passenger door mirror (electric) too

The most recent owner, a fastidious member of the French aristocracy, fell in love with this T2 when in our showrooms drove her home to Chantilly

He has been abroad with work more or less ever since and has only used her for the short journey to his local golf club (if you ever get the chance to play there - you must it is a delight)

Finding his time taken up far more with work than he had hoped, he drove the T2 back to London, where we have again thoroughly serviced her

She presents in superb condition and drives as though only a few years old

A most elegant combination on such a refined T2 make for possibly the ultimate version of these superbly comfortable "ever so gentley's"
