Pininfarina was commissioned by James Hanson, later Lord Hanson, to create a one-off coup\u00e9 using the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow as its base.<\/p>\n
Badged as a Bentley, the Coup\u00e9 Speziale was styled by Paolo Martin with a pronounced fastback profile.<\/p>\n
Pininfarina displayed the coup\u00e9 at various motor shows in 1968 before Hanson took delivery in 1969.<\/p>\n
Hanson had the Bentley updated to Shadow II specification with new bumpers, a three-speed automatic gearbox and hubcaps, between 1978 and 1979.<\/p>\n
The Brewster Green coup\u00e9 was later sold and claimed to be the \u2018world\u2019s most expensive used car\u2019 at the time.<\/p>\n
