Equipment
Replacement engine, wheel covers, gold line tires, Flying B mascot, Lucas driving lights, leather boot cover, wood dash and window trim, pushbutton radio.
Condition
One of 65 built in LHD. Represented with recent cosmetic and mechanical freshening. Not particularly good paint up close with some orange peel and a handful of scratches. Light smudges, wrinkling and discoloration to the seats. Good wood. Unrestored but tidy underneath. Commissioned new by J. Robert Neal, an heir to the Maxwell House fortune. Not a show winner, and of course less desirable with a replacement engine, but still gorgeous.
Market commentary
Offered by Russo and Steele at Monterey in 2013 with a reported high bid of $145,000, reported sold by them at Scottsdale in 2014 for $148,500, then by RM at Monterey in 2018 for $173,600 where it showed exactly the same 61,001 miles as it does today. It's a flawed Bentley that brought an appropriately modest price.
