Bentley Continental

Author: Colin Howard, ISBN: 9780957194014 

From the R Type Bentley Continental of the 1950s, including the prototype OLG 490, through to the latest Bentley Continental GT V8 this is the definitive history of Bentley Continental cars. Bentley Continentals have usually been close-coupled two-door saloons intended for high-speed touring rather than for comfort. They were named Continental, as with some Rolls-Royces before them, because until the 1960s there were no high-speed roads of any length in Britain.

Detailed chassis numbers and engine numbers are given for all cars from the R Type through to series 3 Bentley Continental models including special-bodied cars from Franay, Graber, H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young.
Detailed specifications and production numbers make this a "must" for the Bentley Enthusiast.
