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.

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.
