Introduced in 1955, this was a deluxe version of the Model 47G. It had an enclosed sound-proofed cabin which could accommodate one pilot and two passengers. The cabin had leather upholstery throughout as well as a leather covered dashboard grouping all electrical switches and carburettor controls. The metal monocoque tail boom contained a luggage compartment.

This model marked Bell's return to a streamlined and entirely enclosed design. Its metal monocoque tail boom contains a baggage compartment big enough to take all the luggage carried by those travelling in this three-seater. The cabin's width has been increased to 1.52 metres, so that motor vehicle-size seats can be used.
