1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Bentley T Masons black beautiful condition
Bentley T 1969 beautiful condition ~ sympathetically restored example ~ This is a most desirable chrome bumper era Bentley T, finished in Masons black with blood red fine-lines to the body waist-lines.
The Connolly interior is finished in rich St James red with black seat piping. The colour ensemble is very classic and also rare with the grille shell body colour-coded, which provides a continuous-flow look to the lines of the car. The Bentley T ("T1 ") is the rare derivative of the Silver Shadow. It was the twin sister to the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and is differentiated by a Bentley radiator grille, mascot and "Flying B". It has a slightly lower bonnet (hood) with different shaping in the sheet metal and is distinguished further with “Bentley” hubcaps and boot badging. Unique to these earlier Bentleys, is the fitment of "B" logos on the speedometer and brake pedal (a nice touch - something that was sadly deleted by Rolls-Royce in later years). Out of some 32,000 4 door Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow sedans produced, only 1,700 of these were Bentley Ts (that is only some 5% of the model series). Take into account that the number of remaining survivors would be considerably less and discount further those that are in poor condition, then this T1 Bentley may well be 1 out of only a few dozen examples in the US in this very fine condition. This Bentley T is a stunning example that has recently been restored.
The exterior presentation of this Bentley T is simply lovely. The body is and always was, straight but underwent a complete “windows-out-all-fittings-removed” repaint. As a result, we have a paint finish that is of show standard and exceeds factory quality. Repainted in clear over base. As you would expect, the paint presents spectacularly. Finishes are excellent with many new fitments to include rubbers, gaskets, lights, lenses and bright-work. Not replaced items such as mouldings, door-handles, grille and badges are excellent. The interior of the car is in stunning presentation. The African burl walnut wood is spectacular having recently been redone. All the wood; dash, console, door cappings and vanity mirrors are in “as-new” condition. The rest of the interior is very clean and tidy and requires no attention. The Connolly hide leather was re-Connolised by us and displays a nice degree of patina (we prefer to keep original leather as opposed to replacing with new). The headliner is very clean and in original condition, which is a vinyl known as "Ambla" - only fitted to the early US spec SY (Shadow/Bentley) cars. The dash board and rear parcel shelf are factory excellent. Carpets are clean and tidy as is that in the boot (trunk). *The radio fitted to the car is a rather mundane non-descript 80/90s unit. We would like to see a factory specification unit fitted but have not done so at this stage as we know some buyers might prefer current technology systems.
