Buyer’s notes
About the Bentley Continental T
The Continental T of 1996 was a short-wheelbase Continental R: 102 mm (4 in) shorter between the wheels, with wider wheel arches and Bentley’s turbocharged 6.75-litre V8, raised to 420 bhp during production. Fewer than 400 were built.
What moves the price
- Specification, including the later, more powerful cars and the Mulliner versions.
- History: specialist servicing on record.
- Condition of the interior, where hide and veneers are hard to match.
Before you buy, check
- Service records for the turbocharged V8 and its cooling system.
- The interior: leather damage is expensive to repair and hard to colour-match.
- Corrosion underneath and around the arches, and that the front seats tip forward properly.
