The Appeal

Distinguished, powerful, and luxurious - the Turbo R was a perfect ambassador for everything Bentley stood for, and when it hit the market in 1985, was immediately lauded as one of the best Bentleys in decades. With its powerful V8 engine, stiffened suspension and impeccably comfortable cabin, it's little wonder - this was a keystone for the boys at Crewe if ever there was one.

This particular 1990 Bentley Turbo R is a fine example of what makes these cars so great. Recently serviced, and with a rear suspension replacement, this V8-powered luxury liner on wheels is in utterly fine fettle, and beautifully fitted out in cream leather and burr walnut in its palatial cabin.
