Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Elegant 1973 Bentley T1, an icon of British luxury and close relative of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. This car embodies the timeless charm of Crewe sedans, offering a combination of prestige and timeless comfort. First registered in the United Kingdom on September 13, 1973, the car still retains its original English plates, preserving its historical identity.
BODYWORK AND PAINTWORK:
The coachwork presents in a refined two-tone livery (green and cream, as stated in the documents). The paint has received a refresh over the years and today shows a normal, appealing patina of time, with some superficial cracks that attest to its authenticity. The chrome trim, a distinctive element of any Bentley, also shows signs of wear consistent with the car’s age. The engine bay is in order and there are no signs of significant rust; the floors and underbody reflect the level of preservation visible in the photos.
TECHNIQUE:
Under the hood beats the classic, generous 6,750 cc V8 engine, capable of delivering 190 HP, paired with a smooth automatic transmission. The car has stood idle for a considerable period and therefore requires a complete service and a general mechanical overhaul to return to the roads with reliable performance. It represents a solid base for an enthusiast who wishes to bring one of the most iconic flagship models of the 20th century back to peak condition.
INTERIORS:
The cabin is an era-style lounge that has undergone restoration over time. The leather seats have been restored to ensure comfort and style, while preserving the normal signs of use that give character to an interior of more than fifty years. The quality of the original materials continues to convey that exclusive Bentley brand feel.
DOCUMENTATION:
The car is accompanied by its original English documentation, certifying its provenance and factory specifications. The regularity of the British documents facilitates re-registration or export procedures for international collectors.
COLLECTION:
The car can be viewed and collected in Reggio Emilia, by appointment. To facilitate the buyer, we offer the possibility of arranging home delivery, both in Italy and abroad, by specialized transporters of classic vehicles.
OTHER INFORMATION:
This 1973 Bentley T1 represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a conservation project or light restoration on a high-class model. Thanks to its original configuration and certified provenance, it is a piece of English automotive history ready for a new chapter.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
