This restoration-grade unit features the iconic Lucas L461 style red lens and chrome-finish bezel.

A vital component for maintaining the concourse-standard rear profile of the early post-war Continental series.

Bring your classic Bentley back to factory-original brilliance with our RD7066 Rear Lamp Assembly.

The R-Type Continental is one of the most coveted models in Bentley’s history, and every detail matters. This aftermarket assembly is a faithful reproduction of the original equipment, featuring the correct lens curvature and reflective properties of the 1950s era. Whether you are performing a full "nut-and-bolt" restoration or replacing a cracked lens, this unit offers the perfect balance of vintage style and contemporary build quality.

  • Style: Lucas L461 Type.

  • Chassis Fitment: Bentley R-Type, R-Type Continental, Mk VI, and Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn / Silver Wraith.

The Restoration Advantage: Unlike generic universal lamps, the RD7066 is sized specifically for the original Bentley rear light plinth. The chrome bezel is treated for high corrosion resistance, ensuring the "brightwork" stays lustrous even in damp climates, maintaining the vehicle's valuation and curb appeal.

 

Tech Tip:

When installing the RD7066, ensure the mounting gasket (seating rubber) is soft and pliable to prevent water from entering the boot lid or damaging the rear wing's paintwork.
