Mike Couper’s Unsung Hero: The 1952 Bentley R-Type Saloon Rally Car
This 1952 Bentley R-Type Saloon is a genuine piece of motorsport history. Prepared by Bentley as a “factory trials car,” this R-Type was campaigned by the legendary Mike Couper in the grueling 1953 Rallye Monte-Carlo. It went on to win the Concours de Comfort and the Coupe d’Or that year, giving this 1952 Bentley R-Type Saloon a truly unique competition pedigree.
