What a difference 70 years makes juxtaposition of Bentley R-Type Continental, 1953 & Bentley Continental GT Azure, 2023. Bentley Motors has created a unique and one-off Continental GT, inspired by their retained example of the iconic R-Type Continental, JAS 949. The cars was delivered to its first owner, Dr Rowland Guenin of Switzerland, in December 1953. It was ordered in Ivory with a Red interior and a manual gearbox, a specification it retains today along with the original 4.6-litre engine. To recreate the closest specification for the modern interpretation of JAS 949, a new Continental GT V8 Azure has been hand painted in Old English White – a faithful re-creation of the heritage paint colour that dates back to the 1953

Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback Sports Saloon (1 of 207). 

When Rolls-Royce’s Chief Projects Engineer Ivan Evernden set out to create a high-performance Bentley for the 1950s, his challenge was to meld refinement and sophistication with true pace. Though no easy feat, the goal was achieved with aplomb. A top speed of around 190 km/h awarded the Continental the status of the world’s fastest four-seater, yet the R-Type retained all the luxurious qualities associated with the Bentley name. When unveiled, the Bentley was one of the most elegant cars ever produced—an accolade it still carries to this day.

Clothed in aluminium bodywork by H.J. Mulliner, the Continental gained a performance edge thanks to its relatively light weight and carefully honed aerodynamics, courtesy of the Rolls-Royce wind tunnel. Beneath its skin, the car employed the same “cruciform” chassis and running gear as its saloon sister models, while mechanical upgrades were surprisingly few. The model cost £6,928 at a time when the average UK annual salary was £468, meaning only the wealthiest of enthusiasts could afford this decadent masterpiece. As a result, the production run ended with 207 units after a three-year run.
