Jankel conversion I think, hence it looking better given his form on Rolls/Bentley conversions.These are both so much better looking than the shed built tat of sticking a box conversion on a saloon. Saloons have more sloping C pillars so the box on the back looks dreadful. The closer the angle of the C pillar to the angle of the rear tailgate the better it looks which is why the Jankel design works so well. This obviously requires a huge amount of re-engineering which is beyond the shed built fraternity.

It was sold in 1983. it only went to the coachbuilders in circa 1998:
https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/42-1983-bentle...
"The car was supplied new to Jersey via St Helier Garages , Rolls-Royce main dealers and was serviced by them until 1998. Upon leaving Jersey, it showed a milage of 33,000 total today 36,000 which is supported by the service book and MOT certificates
The following information was supplied by the vendor :
"It is very rare to find an early Mulsanne Turbo, it must be unique to find one in shooting break styling. Finished in mustard with claret. Color coded bumpers front and back, radiator shell painted with chrome grille. Fitted with Rolls Royce sports suspension.
When repatriated to the mainland it was sent to renowned coach builders Coway Ltd of West Horton, Lancashire. At which time they embarked on converting the car to a station wagon. At the same time the car was completely re-trimmed in best quality hide along with a new headlining incorporating a DVD player. All woodwork including the picnic trays have also been refurbished."
Its a shooting brake, not break, the paltroons. https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/42-1983-bentle...

Sold for £34,000 in 2018
and £24,000 in 2024.
Not the greatest of investments.
These big modern hand built Bentleys are always a bit stagnant when it comes to appreciation, but most do tend to hold their value or appreciate a little.
Funny that someone paid £34k for it let along £24k. I don't think I'd buy it at £1k.and £24,000 in 2024.
