Equipment
RHD. R-R/Bentley B80 5,675cc inline eight, 4 SU carbs, 4-speed, dual sidemounts with mirrors, Black wire wheels, Dunlop 7.00-21 tires, windshield visor, side window rain deflectors, luggage trunk, leather and leatherette covered body, cycle front fenders,
Condition
The B80 inline eight was developed for military use and is well known in light armoured vehicles by Alvis, like Saracen and Saladin. Its use here is pretty impressive. The chassis number is from an early 50's Mk VI. Excellent cosmetics showing scant wear or miles and exceptional care and attention. It isn't what it wants to be, but it has great presence.
Market commentary
Offered by RM at Amelia in 2015 and reported bid to $480,000, it was a little out of place here in Kissimmee among the muscle cars (although it has plenty of muscle) and probably attracted scant bidding interest, despite being viewed with amazement during the preview.
