This Bentley T-Type was purchased in October of 1973 by Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc., for the use of its president and founder, William B. Ruger Sr. At the time of the purchase, the car had traveled just 5,832 miles and was still under factory warranty. Mr. Ruger Sr. used the car until 1980 when Mr. William B. Ruger Jr. began using it. The 6.75-liter 90-degree V-8 engine is mated to a three-speed automatic gearbox and there are disc brakes in both the front and rear.In 2012, this car was offered for sale at the St. Johns Concours auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $20,000-$30,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $19,800 inclusive of buyer's premium.
