Highlights 

•  Very well maintained with a large paperwork trail backing up  thousands spent  
• Low mileage import  
• Very recent service and long MOT  

The Appeal 

The History and Paperwork 

• This Brooklands was first registered overseas in 1994, and  was imported and first registered in the UK in February 1999. It  has been in the current keepers possession for the past 18  months and has been used regularly.  
• Lots of paperwork present, including extensive receipts for  maintenance, previous V5s, tax discs and MOT certificates  dating back well over a decade, this includes some costly items  giving peace of mind to the new keeper  
• The service book contains a lot of stamps, and includes a  note indicating that the book was replaced in 2000. It is also  apparent that there is a gap in the service history between 2001  and 2010, however the vehicle has been well cared for  mechanically.  
• Clearly great care has been taken to preserve this car’s  history and maintain it.  

The Interior 

• The interior of this Brooklands is finished in cream leather  with blue piping, wood trim, and plush blue carpets and floor  mats all made of the finest materials.  
• Overall the interior is in working condition, with some defects  including a damaged radio screen, cracked or split trim parts,  and also one of the rear footrests is missing though from what  we saw, the majority of the electronic components worked as  intended  
• It would take little to make this very clean inside and a very  pleasant car to enjoy driving or being driven in with the main  features and aspects of the car being in good, solid order and  simply in need of a little light restoration and some isolated  replacement parts 
• A very luxurious space, the vast interior was the pinnacle of  luxury and comfort in its day with a premium sound system, rear  off rests and unbelievably thick carpets.  

The Exterior 

• Finished in a lovely dark blue, dripping with chrome trims and  with a very bold and imposing look, this luxurious Bentley is  sure to turn heads.  
• The exterior, much like the interior, is functional, but in need  of some TLC. It appears to have some significant corrosion  around body panel edges, and could do with these issues being  corrected to prevent further and more serious issues.  
• It features the original Bentley wheels which have been hand  painted at some point during the vehicle’s life, these are shod  with matching Avon Turbosteel tyres on all four corners.  
• The electric radio aerial functions correctly and all doors  open and close with that satisfying, solid sound so familiar with  these vehicles, alluding to the quality and durability of Bentleys.  
• This vehicle's extensive brightwork is in good condition  throughout, along with the Bentley bonnet emblem. Glass also  appears to be clear and without any major blemishes and also  original from what we could tell.  

The Mechanics 

• Starts, stops and drives exactly as it should with the engine  starting absolutely on the button and no noises or rattles to note  
• Mechanically this car wants for very little as it has been  serviced regularly and is in fine shape especially around the  engine bay there and no signs of leaks or corrosion of note that  we saw, and is generally untouched and original throughout 
• One thing of note is that there is an Airbag warning light  displayed on the dashboard and would need addressed to pass  an MOT so is likely a recent fault  
• A thorough service was carried out very recently by a Rolls  Royce Specialist, and has had an underbody protection spray  applied. Generally the underside is very solid looking, with  major components looking solid and surprisingly clean.  
• Very little would be needed to take this car to the next level  although a quality detail would go a long way, bringing the  furnishings and exterior paint to a high standard
