World’s Oldest Bentley T-Series To Be Restored

It has been decades since the first Bentley T-Series was taken off the road and placed in storage. It will soon be ready to take on the world again after a complete wheels-up restoration. For the first time in at least 15 years, the sound of the 6 ¼-liter pushrod V8 engine was again heard as it roared back to life. Despite the extended rest, the engine and gearbox were both in good condition.

The restoration project is estimated to take at least 18 months to complete with the Bentley T-Series expected to be back in outstanding condition. It will be part of Bentley’s expanding Heritage Collection of road-going cars that tells the story of Bentley’s 103-years of history.
