1970 Bentley T1 (rolls Royce Silver Shadow), Survivor, Service History on 2040-cars
Moultonborough, New Hampshire, United States
This car is absolutely beautiful and and is in great condition. Interior is fresh and very well preserved. 87.6k miles. Interior is very fresh with no rips, tears or stains. It smells very nice, with a fresh smell of leather and almost a new car smell. Runs, drives, shifts very nicely. I am confident driving this car on a long road trip. Breaks have excellent pressure and the car stops very well. Paint, interior, and trim appear look great. Extensive service records dating back 30 years (please see pictures of the file). The Rolls Royce historical archives has 50 pages of documentation on the car, stated as: 'Originally Black, Cherry Red Carpet, Deep Red Fine Lines.' It is my belief that this car has never been altered and that all of the paint is in its original color combination consistent with the history of the car. Dash is nearly perfect. Wood veneer is slightly chipped on the drivers side door, other areas are in very good condition. Seats look and smell great, no tears or stains. Headliner is original (wool) and has one small blemish about the size of 1/3 of a finger tip. There are several very slight door dings that could be dealt with by a dent doctor. Absolutely no rust or evidence of rust repair, undercarriage is excellent. Piping under the car is nice an no unusual corrosion of any sorts that I can see. Original tools and manuals complete the package of originality. I have every service record going back to 1973 organized in sequence, notes from the previous owner, finance bank note pay-off from the 70's, bill of sales from the 80's, titles and registrations from the previous owners, brochures, and manuals. This is a very well documented automobile. Please see the service record photo that I believe to be the 1st servicing from 1973. Any questions call 603-715-7519 On Nov-26-13 at 16:27:07 PST, seller added the following information: Please see these photos taken this evening from my heated garage: ***Please note the extensive documentation of the car in the files of paperwork, literally hundreds of documents. On Nov-30-13 at 08:59:40 PST, seller added the following information: I received a question for more details of the mechanics of the car: The car is mechanically in great working order. A/C needs charge. I have been using the car regularly to events and dinners out with my wife without issues. Little things about the car that make it nice are that all lights, electronics-overhead lights, trunk lights, door lights, map light, windows, heat, fans are working...Hydraulics were done by RR dealer within 5k miles, and the car has every receipt from 40 years of proper care resulting in a very mechanically sound vehicle. If you have 'zero feedback' please contact/communicate with me. Thank you. On Nov-30-13 at 17:01:21 PST, seller added the following information: An Ebay member thinking about bidding asked about the paint and one of the photos showing a reflection. That is a reflection on the passenger door/fender, not a major blemish as questioned. The sun was setting in that direction of the car as I took the photo. Pictures on the link will show that side of the car without a reflection. |

Bentley creates buzz with 'flying bees,' enters honey business
Wed, Jul 31 2019Bentley’s Crewe factory has bees now. Yes, itÂ’s the same Bentley as the one youÂ’re thinking of. TheyÂ’re called “flying bees.” WeÂ’ll hand it to Bentley, thatÂ’s a solid name. This means the British luxury car maker is officially getting into the honey business. We joke, but there will definitely be Bentley-branded honey as a by-product of this nature venture. The bee announcement came in a press release. In total, Bentley is adding 120,000 honey bees to live in two massive (Bentley-branded) hives. Bentley says that amount of bees is capable of producing about 33 pounds of honey per year, which Bentley claims is about 50 jars worth. How much will a jar of Bentley honey cost? Considering how exclusive itÂ’ll be, we imagine itÂ’s more than you can afford, pal. Onwards to the real reason Bentley is doing this. ItÂ’s part of a biodiversity initiative Bentley continues to work toward. “Bee populations are in decline in the U.K., so installing two hives to help boost biodiversity is a great way to make use of the grassland at the edge of the site. Our ‘flying beesÂ’ are honey bees that have been bred by local beekeepers with over 50 yearsÂ’ experience. With their help, weÂ’re checking on them every week and itÂ’s great to see that theyÂ’re already starting to produce the first Bentley honey,” Bentley said in a statement. The hives were installed far from the actual manufacturing facility on site, so you likely wonÂ’t be met with any unexpected guests upon taking delivery of your Bentley. You might remember that Ford hopped on the bee game first a few years back. Even if itÂ’s a small effort, itÂ’s always cool to see anyone trying to save the bees. We donÂ’t want to be caught in a Black Mirror-like situation with mechanical, autonomous bees doing the work for us after all.
Bentley designer says electric Bentley coming ‘not so far in the future’
Mon, Mar 26 2018Bentley lead designer Stefan Sielaff told Auto Express, "A full electric Bentley is something I am extremely convinced we have to do." He essentially confirms a Bentley EV by saying, "It will happen not so far in the future." We can look at the designer's comments as a near-final declaration on an undertaking the English carmaker's been considering for the past few years. Don't look for a production run of the EXP 12 6e concept shown at last year's Geneva Motor Show, though. Based on Sielaff's comments and a process of elimination, AE expects an electric four-door coupe. Instead of the PPE electric architecture Porsche and Audi are developing, Bentley would use the J1 architecture beneath the Mission E. The most powerful Mission E trim should put out close to 700 horsepower, a proper figure to begin discussions concerning an offering from The Flying B. A report from two years ago said a larger, 115-kW battery supplying two 375-horsepower motors in back and a 186-motor in front would give 936 hp and a potential 500-mile range. Beyond that, insiders supposedly spoke of a 150-kW battery to come in 2022, which would bring with it astronomical numbers. When asked what kind of vehicle Sielaff had in mind, the designer said he envisioned "a completely fresh and new development" that is "not imitating another concept." The alternative propulsion, Sielaff said, would give him and his team "a great chance to establish a completely new design language for the company." His ideal chariot would have four or five seats, "the possibility to carry a little bit of luggage," "a certain coupe style or sportivity," and definitely not an SUV. Those are about all the words one would use to describe a four-door coupe without saying the words "four-door coupe." Before the recent executive shuffle, previous brand CEO Wolfgang Durheimer told AE he expected a company EV to get around 600 hp and travel up to 310 miles on a charge. Wireless charging would be a major consideration as well, since grubby charging plugs don't mix well with white gloves. New brand boss Adrian Hallmark was told to invest in the brand instead of focusing exclusively on the numbers, and the EV initiative is about recasting Bentley as a luxury and technology brand, and appealing to younger customers. The next-generation Continental GT will get a PHEV drivetrain, and the Crewe manufacturer plans to have its entire range electrified by 2025.
Bentley to cut 1,000 jobs in Britain
Fri, Jun 5 2020Luxury carmaker Bentley is cutting about 1,000 jobs in the United Kingdom amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the BBC reported late on Thursday. The cuts at the Volkswagen-owned brand are expected to be announced on Friday, according to the report. The carmaker is likely to offer workers the chance to take voluntary redundancy, the report added. Bentley, founded in the UK in 1919, has restarted production at its northern English Crewe factory, where it builds thousands of luxury models. However, the shutdown of its UK production due to the virus outbreak has hurt the company. Earlier on Thursday, Aston Martin, another luxury carmaker, said it planned to shed 500 jobs as it seeks to bring its cost base into line with reduced sports car production levels. Volkswagen and Bentley did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment late on Thursday. Related Video:  Â
