Description

* REDUCED*
Owned for 11 years with receipts during my ownership for £60k of works by RR&B of Hanbury plus full extensive history.
Mechanically A1 excellent, probably the best available in the UK.
Head gaskets, front and rear suspension, air conditioning and lots lots more have all been renewed.
Finished in stunning Wildberry Mica with Sandstone leather interior.
Flying B fitted on the radiator and red label badges on the rear quarters.

Supplied new August 1997 by Wyndham of Cardiff, the vehicle has had a number of interesting owners, first owner Ian Maxwell and later Paul Zetter of Zetter football pools and founder of Sports Aid who owned the vehicle for 12 years and employed a full time chauffeur.
Magazine featured in Classic Cars and Rolls Royce & Bentley Driver.

The good points: Mechanically excellent, the best you’ll find. Last serviced at RR&B less than 1k miles ago. Substantial comprehensive history (2x box files). Full main dealer Bentley service history up to 2011 and then RRBSA approved specialists since. During my ownership the vehicle has never failed an MOT or received any advisories. Will come with a fresh 12 months MOT. Recent four new Avon Turbospeed tyres. Recently cleaned and weatherproofed underneath. Bodywork very good, front arches and sills have been repaired. Complete tool kit and book packs etc. Original Motorola phone in front armrest.

The bad points: Drivers seat electric ecu needs repair- this is a £200 job by Bowling in Bolton. Some delamination showing around the edges of the front and rear screens. One small blister on the rear near side arch.

The best useable RT available in the UK today and priced to sell.
Genuine reason for sale, I’m moving house and need to reduce my collection. This was my childhood dream car.
It gets admiring looks and comments everywhere it goes.
Behind the wheel you feel like a 1990s superstar.
This was the most expensive 4 door car in its day costing £149, 000.
Being the RT version this is a driver focused powerful car which truly belies its appearance.
Press the sport button on top of the gear leaver you can feel the dynamic adaptive suspension tighten and the engine revs higher.
