Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this Bentley Continental model has a gleaming and distinctive pale metallic green finish, with a white upper, jewelled front and rear lights, opening boot with spare wheel, and a perfect, intact bonnet emblem.
Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Original, fine tread, smooth-running grey tyres.
This harder to find version looks barely handled!
Minuscule chrome rub, hard to fault otherwise, A lovely example in stunning condition!
For comparison only, take a look at this model on the left when placed alongside the two-tone green version:
The pictorial card box is complete and bright. Some edge rubbing/surface loss in places and a stray blue crayon mark on one side. Minor wear besides. Shopkeeper’s period pencilled price at an end flap.
