BC30C is a Bentley ‘R’ Type Continental Fastback by H J Mulliner. First registered in 1954 she sports a manual gearbox and was used on the cover of Bentley – The Cars from Crewe by Rodney Steel. She was exported to the United States in 1980 and stayed with the same keeper until her repatriation in 2004.
Hunt & Keal Ltd. were commissioned to ‘restore’ her to her former glory in May 2004 and to update her in many specific areas.
