Description
1986 Bentley Turbo R — one owner from new, never sold, offered for sale for the very first time.
Factory designation "Turbo R" (registered as "Mulsanne Turbo" — identical type approval). Left-hand drive. Sage green metallic over magnolia leather, burr walnut woodwork and matching green carpets.
Key facts:
- 6. 75-litre V8 turbo, ~300 hp
- 3-speed automatic transmission (GM TH400)
- 112, 275 km (approx. 69, 766 miles)
- Veteran-vehicle status; Swiss roadworthiness test (MFK) valid until 2031
- Chassis: SCBZS0T0XGCX14761
Condition — described honestly:
The car has always been kept in locked private garages (Switzerland and Austria) and serviced within the Rolls-Royce / Bentley network. The bodyshell is sound and the identity fully matching, with no structural issues. In full transparency, the air conditioning needs recharging and there are a few minor cosmetic marks to the paintwork — nothing structural.
Supplied complete: two original unused car covers, the Bentley Motors care kit, never-used snow chains, and two wheel sets (summer + winter).
Work that could be done in future: air-conditioning recharge and light cosmetic paint attention if desired — the car drives and presents very well as it is.
Affectionately nicknamed "Lady Bentley" by her only owner, this Turbo R was bought new and has never changed hands. For nearly forty years she has led a cherished, sheltered life between Switzerland and Austria — always garaged, used for touring and elegant weekend runs, and maintained with genuine care.
What makes her special is the combination that is so hard to find today: a genuine one-owner-from-new Turbo R, offered for the very first time, with her original books, tool/ care kit and unused accessories still present. She has never been advertised before.
The Turbo R (launched in 1985, the "R" for Roadholding) is the driver's Bentley of its era — stiffer chassis, wider wheels and the mighty 6. 75-litre turbo V8 — and remains one of the most charismatic luxury grand tourers of the 1980s.
Paperwork: Swiss registration, veteran-vehicle status, roadworthiness test (MFK) valid until 2031. Full documentation and a complete valuation dossier are available to serious enquirers.
