Having been conceived as a beginner's model to aim at prospective purchasers of a younger age came the idea to offer an alternative of the Bentley Mulsanne. The outcome of this inspiration towards younger owners experiencing the Bentley marque was the Bentley Eight. A considerable price reduction was explained by the luxurious equipment having been slightly cut-back. Nonetheless the Bentley Eight, distinguished in outward appearance by a radiator grille that harkened back to their sporting heritage, with wire-mesh instead of slats, hardly missed any expected option. A stiffened front suspension provided sportier handling and could even be considered as an advantage. The model became so popular that - initially only available in the UK market it became supplied to Europe and the United States too.

The much admired Bentley is presented in original condition with less than 32,000 actual miles. It has a look of distinction in pearlescent white with parchment interior; plus it is backed up by a 411.9-cid, 205-hp V-8 engine that is matched to a three-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes, which are part of this platform, are always a welcome feature, no matter the car. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, Bentley alloy wheels, cruise control, radio with cassette tape player; power seat, door locks, windows, steering and brakes.
