For about a tenth of the price of a Continental, the T1 two-door by Mulliner Park Ward is actually more comfortable for mooching about on motorways and in traffic

The Bentley R Type Continental (or Bentley Continental Sports Saloon, to give it the correct nomenclature) is absolutely fabulous – but it is now worth absolutely fabulous amounts of money.

For about a tenth of the price, the T1 two-door by Mulliner Park Ward is actually more comfortable for mooching about on motorways and in traffic. We are talking the fixedheads here, in both T1 and T2 guises. (The open RR Corniches are too glitzy and Hollywood to be taken seriously.)

Bentley interiors are sublime and their massive V8s relaxed. With their ever-so-understated radiator grilles, these effortless two-door Bentleys are motor cars for true gentlemen.
