The T Series was essentially a Bentley-badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Its arrival in 1965 was none too soon, but marked many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though shorter and narrower than the S3 it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned T1 possessed greater luggage and passenger space and far more contemporary looks. At launch the newcomer was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc in 1970. Early examples employed the same GM automatic transmission as the S3, but this was superseded by the much vaunted Turbo Hydramatic system from 1970 onwards. The car's famed 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen.
