1971 Bentley T1
Specifications
Description
You will love this Bentley for its refined, laid back nature and raw power, while your passengers will enjoy a standard of ride quality that few cars of the era can match.
Essentially a re-badged Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, the T1 differs from the Roller only in its slightly different grille and a few Bentley emblems.
Inside, it's pure prestige, with the finest of leather seats, wonderfully thick carpets and more standard equipment than just about anything of a similar era.
The simple styling renders this Bentley rather subtle in appearance, but its sheer size gives it an almost regal road presence.
T1s and Silver Shadows enjoyed a lengthy production run, so there are plenty of them around.
Buy a cared-for example, and you'll enjoy prestige classic motoring at its finest – for a fraction of what you'd pay for a modern Bentley.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Very Original Car
- Rare being NZ New with full history
- Very Nice Condition Throughout
- Original Certificate Of Registration Available
- Well serviced and maintained Vehicle mainly by Bruce Mcilroy and in the past four years, it was regularly serviced by Colgray Motors RR/Bentley specialist. Many invoices to show including over $30k Suspension and hydraulics, New tires including spare, all new brake pads etc.
- Drives smooth and feels like a proper Bentley should.
Few cars rival the T1 for luxury at this price other than its Rolls-Royce stablemates.
But don't be tempted by cars with rock-bottom price tags. The allure of a cheap Bentley may be strong, but it isn't worth it unless you have double the budget for parts and you're a dab hand with electrics, hydraulics and bodywork.
It's been said before, but there really is no substitute when it comes to shopping around and paying more for a good car as in our opinion cars with paper trail and evidence of due care and attention are worth the extra money, as it's so easy to plough tens of thousands of dollars into a rough one.
Paying a specialist a nominal fee for an inspection and getting involved with the club scene before you buy will pay dividends, too.
Do it by the book and you'll bag one of the best British prestige cars money can buy.
Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered, if sold in New Zealand.
TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.
Viewing is BY PRIOR APPOINTMENT only.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
