After the success of the Cloud and S series saloons, Rolls Royce/Bentley wanted to introduce a new more modern up to date luxury saloon. Introduced on October 5, 1965, the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series were unveiled at the Paris Salon Motor Show with rave reviews. The all new car was completely modern with traditional Rolls Royce/Bentley touches and was exceptionally an crafted saloon with incredibly advanced technology for its time. The Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series was a limited production Saloon that used the familiar 6.75-liter V-8 engine built by Rolls Royce. The Bentley T1 version, which featured a sleeker, sportier grille, was the rarest iteration of the Silver Shadow/T-Series cars from 1965-1980. About 140 of these cars were built per year giving the ratio of about 1 T1 Bentley to 10 Rolls Royce Silver Shadows.

This exceptional 1969 Bentley T1 Saloon is finished in Silver Sand over Garnett Red with Burgundy hides. This car has had three previous owners. The car has lived in Naples, Florida most of its life and has just undergone over $15,000 in recent service and mechanical work. The engine has just had its carburetors rebuilt with new floats and jets, new fuel lines, new spark plugs and wires, new vacuum lines, new starter, new water pump, new battery, new distributor coils and ignition leads, new engine gaskets and seals. The hydraulic brake system and hydraulic suspension has also been completely overhauled including all of the hydraulic lines to the suspension and the brakes, brake pump, brake pressure switches, new rear shocks and hydraulic struts, and new o-rings and seals in the brakes all done in the last 1,200 miles. The car has also had air conditioning work done including the compressor and belts with new Freon added. All the receipts go with the car and all of the original owners manuals, Bentley shop and parts manuals along with the original Bentley tool kit, jack and spare tire in their original bag. The car runs and driver exceptionally well whether cruising around town or driving at highway speeds this Bentley is incredibly solid and incredibly smooth. This is an ultra rare Bentley T-Series car finished in a stunning and rare color combination that rarely becomes available on the market.
