The 'R' Type was a development of the MkV1 Bentley and sported a
4.5 litre, six-cylinder engine and increased boot space; it was
also the first Bentley to be offered with the option of
automatic transmission.
The ' R' Type was produced from 1952-1955 and during this period
only 2,320 were made, and probably only 1100 remain worldwide.
She was the fastest 4 door saloon money could buy in the 1950s
with a top speed of 105mph. She is much sort after.
Our car's first owner was a circuit judge, Hon. Sir Henry Wynn
Parry, but, perhaps better known, was its second owner, the
actor Stanley Holloway, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of
Eliza Doolittle's father in My Fair Lady, in which he sang 'Get
me to the Church on Time'.
Her livery is Tudor Grey over shell, with a tan leather interior
and toning Wilton carpets. There are side vanity mirrors in the
quarters and walnut picnic tables in the front and rear.
The R-Type Bentley was the second standard steel model produced
by Rolls-Royce after WW II. The 4.5 inch Big Bore engine was
capable of speeds well over 100 MPH.
