📍 Presentation

 

Rohmer Youngtimers Selection is proud to offer for sale this absolute symbol of British luxury: a Bentley T1, produced in just 1,868 units between 1965 and 1977. A top-of-the-range version and even more exclusive than the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow from which it is derived, this T1 embodies the refinement of an era where every detail counted.

Under the long hood of this majestic Bentley T1 lies a 6.2-liter V8, delivering around 200 horsepower, although the brand has not stooped to officially disclosing this figure. At Bentley, luxury is not measured in horsepower, but in quiet operation, smooth driving... and distinction.

On the French classic car registration document, the administrative power is set at 29 hp, a figure which only underlines the extraordinary standing of this exceptional automobile.
