NEW LIFE FOR WORLD’S OLDEST BENTLEY T-SERIES

• The very first Bentley T-Series begins a complete restoration
• Apprentices and Bentley Specialists breathe life into first of line example from 1965
• Car found after years in storage as a non-running example
• To be completed in 2023, ready to join Bentley’s Heritage Collection.

(Middle East, 19 April, 2022) After decades of being off the road and in storage, the very first Bentley T-Series is being brought back to life after the start of a complete wheels-up restoration. The 6¼-litre pushrod V8 has been started for the first time in at least 15 years, and the engine and gearbox have proven to be in good condition despite their extended rest. After a restoration project slated to take at least 18 months and that will return the car to outstanding condition, it will be added to Bentley’s expanding Heritage Collection of road-going cars that together describe all 103 years of Bentley’s history.
