Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

LHD. P S. 3 owners from new and said to have 63,249 miles. Dealer installed Town & Country A C. Good but ageing paint with pimples on right rear door, good interior and chrome. An elegant and unusual automobile, reportedly one of only 15 built in LHD, that had the air of quality and careful maintenance.

Market commentary

This Bentley Spur wasnt pristine, or like new, or cherry. It was just ... well ... loved. A sound, clean and carefully maintained car that impressed everyone who looked at it and is as distinctive today as it was 44 years ago when it was new. At this price it is a sound value and what can only be described as an astute purchase.
