Overview of 1952 Bentley R-Type For Sale by Owner

Introduced as the successor to the Mk VI, the Bentley R-Type embodied the brand’s reputation for understated luxury and engineering refinement in the early 1950s. This 1952 example, finished in metallic silver over a reupholstered gray leather interior, is powered by the marque’s 4,566cc “F-head” inline-six paired with twin SU carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Showing 55,859 miles, it presents as both a preserved classic and a thoughtfully maintained driver, blending period charm with sensible updates.

Exterior and Interior

The metallic silver paintwork highlights the graceful lines of the R-Type’s body, complemented by radial whitewall tires that provide a period-correct look with modern drivability. Tinted glass subtly modernizes the appearance, while details such as the original owner’s manual, factory Rolls-Royce toolbox, jack, and tire iron underscore its authenticity. Inside, the cabin has been reupholstered in gray leather, ensuring comfort while preserving the Bentley’s traditional understated elegance. Wood trim, leather upholstery, and thoughtful ergonomics maintain the luxury feel expected from the marque.

Engine

At its core lies Bentley’s 4,566cc naturally aspirated inline-six, known as the “F-head” for its intake-over-exhaust valve design. Fed by twin SU carburetors, the engine provides smooth and reliable power delivery well-suited to relaxed touring. A 4-speed manual transmission channels output to the rear wheels, giving the driver a hands-on connection to the car’s stately performance. This example has been fitted with replaced drum brakes, ensuring greater reliability while retaining the originality of its mechanical layout.
