The Bentley Turbo RT Mulliner: 1998 LWB
This is the very last RHD RT Mulliner produced and the last (latest) chassis number, 66750. The exception being a LHD RT Mulliner completed in 1999 but with an earlier chassis number.
The Mulliner version, available only by special order for the 1998 model year, was even more exclusive and expensive. It boasts a 420 bhp (313 kW; 426 PS) engine with a torque output of 650 lb. ft (861 Nm): this was achieved by developing a new compressor for the turbocharger, a remapped engine management system, and modifications to the air intake system. Visually, Mulliners have more aerodynamic, rounded bumpers with prominent venting and fog lamps, as well as flared wheel arches to accommodate a wider track and larger 18-inch alloy wheels, sitting on low-profile 285/ 45 ZR18 tyres. Each car was built to individual specifications, with many sporting side and bonnet vents and some with the smaller Mulliner rear windscreen. One option in the Mulliner was a prominent speedometer for the rear passengers.
Just 56 Mulliner editions were built, of which 17 are right-hand drive. Seven of the Mulliner editions built are to standard wheelbase specifications, and 49 are on the lengthened wheelbase. This specific example, we understand, is the only vehicle in the limited Mulliner line to be finished in triple black. (Body, leather & Wood).
Previously sold by Phantom Motors in 2003 and recently purchased back from the estate of the owner. Serviced and maintained by Phantom since 2003, but was in storage for a number of years. Just re-commissioned, and its 1st outing was to Hampton Court Concours.
