1995 Bentley Turbo S LHD - 89.000 kms only For Sale

1995 Bentley Turbo S
Number 45 of 60 Produced
56. 000 miles only
LHD

The Turbo S is one of two best versions of the SZ model Bentley saloons (the other being the Turbo RT Mulliner)

With only 60 produced World Wide they are also one of the rarest versions available as well

Bentley needed an uplift in sales in the mid nineties, when the Turbo R was 10 years old, so their special team decided to update the engine, as well as making the outside and interior specific to this model only

So first things first, the engine was the first unit to be offered with over 400 bhp in a production car offered to the public (in fact 402 bhp was the number bantered around) and torque was a heady 616 ft/ lbs

This was achieved by using a Garrett AirResearch water-air intercooler - hence the huge step up in power and torque

17" alloy wheels with Avon 255 / 55 R tyres together with integrated front and rear bumpers made for a much more modern look

Both bumpers also had an air damp incorporated and the radiator was reduced in height to reduce frontal area for higher top speed

This rose to 155 mph with 60 mph is just a whisker away at 6 seconds - blimey, many sports cars in period couldn't live with a Turbo S !!

By the way, for those of you who wear anoraks, these bumpers was carried over to the 1996 year models, however the Turbo S is only such version, as the 1996 model had completely different door mirrors and one piece side glass to the front

Anyhow, we digress, the interior was again unique

The doors cards were designed especially for this model, as was the design of the seats all around - very nice they look too

All veneers were heavily dark stained walnut with an in-laid 'B' motif in silver to all 4 door rails

A heady concoction offered in only specific UK, Europe and Asia markets - the US deemed them to produce too many emmissions.............

Our beauty is an absolute cracker-jack in the most traditional of colours, Racing Green, with tan twin fine lines to match interior, all of which is tan, with the exception being the black top roll

Completely original, including the lambswool overmats, radio / cassette & CD changer with remote control for the rear seat passengers (or for the driver should he so chose)

The last owner, a serial Bentley owner from Brussels and Paris, has loved her and recently expended €15. 000 on servicing and general upgrading - which clearly shows when I test drove her in Chelsea this week

He drove her over to us without blinking from Paris, for she still does what it says on the tin

Super smooth and really is an Ever So Gently as you whoosh along the motorways

One for purist who wants an original Turbo S without any frills - save for the Cocktail Requisite between the front seats with a hip flask trimmed in pig skin with a sterling silver top and 4 crystal cut shot glasses

Whey-hey .........
