Today we have another sexy classic car '1954 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback Sports Saloon'. Rolls Royce, General Motors and Franay, each are played a part in this unique Bentley fastback, and it is about to be auctioned in Monaco on May 10th by RM Auctions and expected to fetch $1.5M or more under the gavel at the Le Sporting event that precedes the Monaco Grand Prix. The 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback Sports Saloon was powered by a General Motors Hydra-Matic, a cutting-edge transmission system. That was mated to an enlarged six-cylinder engine with 4,556cc of displacement. For the heavy 1954 Bentley R-Type, this produced top speeds of up to 105 mph and a 0 to 50mph take-off in just over 9 seconds.
