Lot details Registration No: OLA 814 Chassis No: B7TO Mot Expiry: Exempt
Fitted with elegant saloon coachwork by James Young, this particular R-Type - chassis B7TO - was first road registered on 7th November 1953. Beginning life in London (or so its `OLA 814' number plate would imply), the Bentley was running and driving but forlorn when it entered the current ownership during mid-2007. Entrusted to Classic Restorations (Scotland) Ltd shortly thereafter, the R-Type underwent repairs to its ash frame and outer body panels before work came to a halt. Not started for five or so years, `OLA 814' needs re-trimming, rewiring and repainting etc as well as general recommissioning before a return to road use can be contemplated. Sold strictly as viewed, this coachbuilt Bentley is offered for sale entirely without reserve.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
