1952 Bentley R-Type Speed 8 Le Mans Tourer for Sale in Germany

This 1952 Bentley R-Type Speed 8 Le Mans Tourer is a used car showing 2,600 km. It is powered by a petrol engine rated at 160 PS (118 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Racing Green with a Green interior.

Racing Green, a South Wales firm with more than forty years spent on pre-war Bentleys, built this open tourer to recall the cars that won Le Mans for the marque in the late 1920s. Its base is a second-series R Type chassis, number B 33 RS, joined to a new Rolls-Royce B80 straight-eight of 5.65 litres and a freshly made body.

Running gear and electrics were brought up to today's standards, which makes it a natural mount for rallies and classic events. It drives on the right and wears racing green with green leather.

The car is located in Berlin, Germany.

The Bentley R Type Speed 8 (B80) uses a Rolls-Royce B80 straight-eight of 5,675 cc from the B range, with inlet-over-exhaust valves and a 3.5-inch bore by 4.5-inch stroke, rated at 160 bhp at 3,750 rpm in its standard form, with the R Type's four-speed manual gearbox, driving the rear wheels.
