Just why is it that the Bentley T series cars are so rare?

Roughly 2,400 Ts to 20,000 Silver Shadows.

Almost 1 to 10.

My Grandfather's friend in London had one and I asked him to find out why that friend didn't fork out the extra few hundred quid for a Rolls-Royce. Never got an answer...

Is it because it's subtle.

Maybe a Rolls-Royce is a bit 'In yer Face..' to some people?

Perhaps no one knows what a Bentley means? It blends in...

A bit like buying a Volkswagen Phaeton W12 instead of an Audi or even a Bentley Conti Flying Spur, perhaps?

Low key?

The T series car suits that grille very well. The curves flow.

Bentley, the driver's car.

"You are driven in a Rolls-Royce, you drive a Bentley....."

Euhh, no. They all drive the bloody same.

It makes no difference there.

But the T is rarer - and curvier.
