About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Wheel covers, wide whitewalls, dual wing mirrors, Flying B, single driving light, badge bar, sunroof. Terrible old paint that was probably never very good to begin with. There are cracks and chips all over. The underbody is dirty and oxidized but there’s no major rust. The leather in the front is newer and quite good, but it’s a lighter shade than the worn original seat in the back. The carpet is dirty but the wood isn’t bad, although it isn’t great either. It does at least have the original tools, so it does have that going for it. Not a car to be proud of, and an buying old Bentley with problems on the cheap is not the way to do it.
