Essentially a larger-boot version of the Mk VI. the R type is regarded by some as a stop-gap before the introduction of the S series cars in 1955. As with its predecessor. a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H. J. Mulliner & Co. . Park Ward. Harold Radford. Freestone and Webb and others. Other than the radiator grilles and the carburation there was little difference between the standard Bentley R Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn. The R Type was the more popular marque. with some 2. 00 units manufactured during its run to the Silver Dawn's 760. Registration is good till 11/2015 and ready to drive.
