The R-Type was the second series of post-war Bentley automobile,
replacing the Mark VI. The front of the saloon model was identical to
the Mark VI, but many had custom coachwork. The Continental model was
produced specially for touring in continental Europe, this one appears
to have been bodied by H.J. Mulliner. This was the first appearance of
the famed Bentley Continental name. There is one of these at the Gaydon
Museum and it is enormous.
Matchbox included it in the Dinky by Matchbox range. |
