Buyer’s notes
About the Bentley T-Series
The T-Series was the Bentley version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, shown at the Paris Motor Show in October 1965, and with it the first car from Crewe built without a separate chassis. It became known as the T1 when the T2 arrived in 1977, and far fewer were built than of the Rolls-Royce.
What moves the price
- Body condition: rust in the lower panels and structure.
- The hydraulic system, which runs the brakes and suspension and is among the most expensive areas to repair.
- Service history: regular, documented specialist maintenance.
Before you buy, check
- The sills, wheel arches, wings, valances, inner wings and boot floor, where dried-out underseal lets water in.
- The hydraulics, by a specialist: both low-pressure warning lights should go out once the engine is running.
- The aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid where trim is fitted, and records of hydraulic overhauls.
