Bentley ranges and models

W.O. Bentley
Compare the W.O. cars by factory intent, chassis, engine, and the coachwork fitted when new. Record later rebuilding and component changes against dated evidence.
Bentley Coachbuilt Continental, 1952–1965
Compare the R-Type Continental and S1, S2, and S3 Continental by chassis, coachwork and original drivetrain. Review body numbers, steering side and transmission when choosing comparables.

Review the Mulliner Bacalar as a coachbuilt commission with a documented sale from the customer series.
