Commensurate with building the Silver Cloud series Rolls-Royce also built between 1955 and 1959 three series of Bentleys totaling 3,538 examples and represented by this Series 1 model with a 6-cylinder engine (4.8 litres) and single headlights. This is another new New Zealand vehicle first registered on 11th June 1956 by Sir James Fletcher, followed by 20 ensuing owners before being purchased by First Class Classics in July 2007. The car is in immaculate and probably restored condition. A push-button radio is in situ as too is a central roof aerial and front bumper mounted fog lights, also acting as turning indicators. Door shut lines are perfect and the wood dash unimpaired. The whitewall tyres provide a nice touch to its similar paint. An original toolkit is present along with four specialized workshop manuals. Speedometer reads 73,162 miles. Power steering is absent from Bentleys of this Model Year. Personalised number plate of SM 1956 is included.

Vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
