I have a fond spot for the Bentley Motor Car marque and often stumble across Bentleys that I find interesting. My plan is to post pictures and comments of Bentley cars that I observe both on the Interweb, and in real life.
Historically the Bentley has been the sporting man's Rolls-Royce, so when I am not feeling sporting I may post about Rolls-Royce cars.
Fellow RR&B enthusiasts David Irvine and Andy are also helping out posting articles. Thanks guys.

Cannot identify the Abbott R type Continental OYE 700 by info provided by chassis number 8 OR 1st owner Earl of Sefton OR registration number OR year of build 1954
The eighth R type Continental was BC 8LA delivered September 1952. 1st owner H Kizer of USa. BC 8D which was delivered in 1954 (Sept) had Baron de la Rochette as 1st owner. More accurate information on this important car please.
Unless it is an R type without being Continental?
Gday Peter,
This information is taken straight from the seller of this car. The link is at the end of the post.
The car is first described as a Continental R by Abbott.
Then it is described as a 1954 Bentley R-Type (Continental Coupe body by Abbott)
It does seem that this car is not a Bentley R-Type Continental, but one of the 303 Bentley R-Types with coachbuilt bodies.
I don't think this car has been on the Eurostar. It's not a Continential, just an R Type.
