We’ve all been guilty of browsing cars we have no intention of buying from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or Autotrader. Some might say it’s like window shopping—you’re not buying, just browsing. And fittingly, both “windows” and “browsing” are computer terms.

Gary Mavers, a host on YouTube’s Classic Obsession (@ClassicObsession), was doing just that before he found an interesting listing. It was from a junkyard in California that advertised some kind of vintage Bentley. The photo disclosed that there was some damage to the car’s rear quarter panel on the driver’s side, but didn’t hint at much else.

The largest obstacle for Mavers was the distance. He lives in the UK, so checking out the old Bentley in California was going to cost him a pretty penny. His gut told him it was worth it, so he flew across the pond to the Golden State to have a look.

The old car turned out to be one of Bentley’s least expensive models

When Mavers arrived, he discovered the car was a 1967 Bentley T-1. It’s basically a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. It’s not a boat like the Phantom or Spectre, but rather a normal-looking five-seater sedan.

Like most Bentleys of the time, it was sitting with a 6.2-liter V8, which shoulds like a meaty V8, but it was rated for 195 horsepower. So, it had a nice sound, but putting the pedal to the metal just made it sound fast. While the stats aren’t impressive, even for the time, it was pretty rare.

Over 15 years, Bentley only produced 2,336 units of the T-1. So, they’re not easy to find—at least not in good condition. Looking closely at the VIN, Mavers quickly realized this one was special. It was the first T-1 ever produced.

Thanks to California’s mild weather, it was kept fairly intact

Aside from the car’s legacy, the wooden interior, paint, and leather seats were a little dirty, but otherwise in amazing condition. The dark blue paint seemed to be the original coat, and was preserved with a tarp—at least Mavers believes so.

Of course, the old Bentley doesn’t start or run, but the original engine under the hood can be restored. The only damage Mavers spotted right away was to the rear end, and of course the suspension, but California’s mild weather kept it from rusting out.

Mavers fell in love with the car, and has grandiose plans to restore it to its former glory. After paying $6,500 after taxes and fees to import it, it’s at home in his British garage. He likely wouldn’t get more than $100,000 for it, but… It’s pretty cool to say you have the first one ever produced and sold.
