Vehicle Overview

Take a look at this stunning 1954 Bentley R-type (B53WG) ... Owning a classic Bentley is an experience reserved for those with a deep appreciation for automotive history and timeless luxury. This magnificent 1954 Bentley R-Type is an exquisite example of post-war British engineering, offering a blend of dignified presence and unparalleled comfort that is truly rare in today's world. Finished in "Georgian Silver" & "Mason's Black" this R-type presents a striking and timeless appearance, embodying the height of post-war British luxury and elegant design. This classic two-tone livery accentuates the car's stately lines and sophisticated presence, making it a true head-turner among classic car enthusiasts. 
 
A Legacy of Elegance and Performance
The R-Type, produced between 1952 and 1955, succeeded the Mark VI and set the standard for luxury saloons of its era. This particular model captures the essence of Bentley's commitment to craftsmanship, featuring a robust chassis and a smooth, powerful ride that effortlessly carries its occupants in supreme comfort. The press of the era described the R-Type Continental variant as a "magic carpet which will carry its occupants to the ends of the Earth, and when they alight, they will be as fresh as when they set out". This saloon body embodies that same spirit of effortless grand touring.
Key Features
  • Engine: The venerable 4.6-liter (4566 cc) F-head inline-six engine, known for its smooth and robust power delivery.
  • Transmission: Equipped with the desirable and reliable factory-installed 4-speed automatic transmission, offering a refined driving experience.
  • Interior: Step inside to a cabin adorned with rich, hand-finished walnut wood veneer and supple Connolly leather upholstery. The original features include fold-down rear tray tables, an analog Smiths clock, and exquisite Wilton wool carpeting, all contributing to an atmosphere of understated opulence.
  • Exterior: The classic "Standard Steel Saloon" body presents a stately and elegant silhouette, finished in a tasteful two-tone paint scheme (Georgian Silver & Mason's Black) with bright, well-maintained chrome.
  • Provenance: With a well-documented ownership history and original build sheets, this vehicle offers the transparency and authenticity sought by discerning collectors. Previous ownership was a well know RROC LMR / BENTLEY DRIVERS CLUB member who used this car well and often on many lengthy tours... This car has been exceptionally well preserved and maintained ... It is ready for adventures and tours ...
A Collector's Opportunity
This R-Type is more than just a car; it is a piece of art on wheels, a testament to a golden age of motoring when luxury and engineering went hand-in-hand. It is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic that is both a showpiece and a delightful tour car, capable of cruising comfortably at modern highway speeds. This lovely car comes with a handbook, keys, & some tools ... As the "early" postwar cars continue to excite collectors, opportunities such as this are becoming scarce, waste no time in contacting Jason Courtney of Dream Car Chicago for questions or to schedule a visit ...
