The `Continental T` takes the `Continental R` recipe and makes it shorter, wider in track and more aggressive in attitude. It is one of the most striking Bentleys of its era because it still belongs to the old Crewe world while showing a much more deliberate wish to make performance felt. It remains heavy and solemn, but its character is clearly tauter than the `R`.
A Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe will always seem easier; the `Continental T` wants to impress. Its turbo `V8`, driving position and sheer size all command respect, and the specific chassis deserves care to match its rarity. This is a model to buy with real collector-level criteria, not as just another old big coupe with a generous engine.
