The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling, underpinnings of the Rolls-Royce 6. 75 litre, V8 engine but without the more powerful model's turbocharger. The Brooklands continued Bentley's design theme which was also used on contemporary Rolls-Royce vehicles throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grill as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. As with many Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Brooklands also featured the trademark descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars. The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console. In the autumn of 1996, Brooklands received an update in a form of light-pressure turbo, boosting power output to 300bhp.
Chassis ‘59348’ was manufactured in 1996 and was supplied via Rolls-Royce main agent Weybridge Automobiles on the 8th November that year. A notably early light-pressure turbo example is finished in the delightful colour of Wildberry Mica paintwork with a complementary Magnolia hide interior upholstery. Purchased into current the ownership for the use of completing a Drivers Club tour of the British Isles, the Brooklands is now offered with just 53, 500 miles from new on the odometer. Recently benefiting from significant cosmetic improvements and some £2, 600 expenditure with significant attention to brakes and new drive belts by marque specialists Michael Hibberd, the Bentley is supplied with the original owner’s handbook and stamped service book. Further accompanied to sale by a collection of previous MOT certificates, tax discs, and a current V5C document.
