The vast and luxurious Turbo R was produced from 1985 - 1999 and was fitted with Bentley’s long living 7. 75 litre engine. Engineers at the factory designed the new model with an increase of 50% stiffness over the previous Mulsanne with an eye to increasing performance and road holding. The cars also received ABS and fuel injection. Just over 4, 600 of the original turbo Rs were made.
This elegant Bentley Turbo R is part of a cherished car collection and was purchased after viewing Jay Leno’s 16-minute YouTube video recommending buying a pre-airbag black model which he owns! This example is finished in black, with a cream interior and a burr walnut dash; it even has the original Bentley handmade luxurious black lamb’s wool floor mats and unused original toolbox and jack.
Recent work includes a new battery and brake valves, new front callipers and brake discs, rear brake discs and both new seat ECUs so both the driver and passengers will be able to sit in perfect comfort. Both the exterior and interior are in good original condition, with only some additional paint work required to bring to the next level including some lacquer milking on the roof. The car has had recent work completed including a service in September 2022 as well as a rear suspension overhaul which included new rear hydro-cones and brake pads.
The Turbo R comes with luxury options including heated and electrically adjustable memory seats, rear passenger mirrors and lights, plus rear picnic tables. This example also comes with the original rare Bentley/ Rolls-Royce Alpine CD and cassette radio with 6CD multi-changer. This is an opportunity to own an amazing example of a Bentley Turbo R which is an appreciating asset.
This prestige car has the upgraded 17'' turbo alloys, all in near-new condition and fitted with the Bentley recommended Avon tyres. This is a low mileage example and has been meticulously maintained with a large file including a full-service history and all past MOTs.
Estimate: £7, 000 – 9, 000
