What is a sympathetic restoration?
1969 Bentley T1. Full bare metal repaint 25 years ago. Rolls Royce trained painter - 11 coats applied. In the last two years I have revived the leather including filling and recolouring. All stainless steel has been polished and original pin-striping reapplied to the body and wheel covers. The paint has been refinished, cut and polished and a ceramic coating applied. The interior of the car has been thoroughly cleaned and detailed. Driver's carpet repaired and a new carpet fitted in the boot. A modern radio, and speakers, has been installed discretely leaving the original in the centre of the dash.
