Bentley's first post-war car, built at Crewe from 1946 to 1952. It was the first Bentley offered with a factory-supplied steel body rather than relying on outside coachbuilders, which helped make it the best-selling Bentley up to that time. The R Type that followed was the same car with a longer boot.
