Finished in white over tan and equipped with desirable left-hand drive, it is one of the scarce coachbuilt examples created by Graber.Swiss coachbuilder Carrosserie Hermann Graber produced a small number of bespoke Bentley bodies with production believed to have been in the single digits. The 1953 Bentley R-Type Coup? with coachwork by Graber is one of the most desirable and elegant coachbuilt Bentleys of the postwar era. Unlike the standard factory-bodied R-Type saloons, these cars were delivered as rolling chassis and then bodied by specialist coachbuilders. The coachbuilder was Carrosserie Graber, the renowned Swiss firm founded by Hermann Graber. Graber's designs were noted for their restrained elegance, slim rooflines, large glass areas, and subtle continental styling that differed markedly from contemporary British coachbuilders. Bentley chassis sent to Graber were often completed as graceful two-door coup?s or cabriolets, making them among the rarest R-Type variants. Many historians consider the Graber-bodied Bentleys among the most attractive postwar Bentleys ever built.
