Description
These two pillars of the automotive industry, Rolls and Bentley, joined forces in 1931, and it was not until 1998 that the split occurred: Rolls-Royce was taken over by BMW, while Bentley fell under the Volkswagen group. Throughout all those years, Bentleys were the “economy” or sportier versions of the Rolls-Royces. The Bentley Turbo R is the perfect symbol of the sporting aura that a Rolls can exude. Succeeding the Mulsanne Turbo, the Turbo R was born in 1985 in twin‑carburettor form, and it was the 1987 model year that introduced Bosch fuel injection, enabling the 6. 75‑litre V8 to deliver 328 hp... The 1992 model year saw the automatic four‑speed transmission become standard, before the 1993 model year identified itself by the gear lever being placed on the centre console rather than on the steering wheel. The 1994 model year saw the appearance of a double front airbag, the chrome on the bonnet centre disappeared, the wheels upgraded to 16 inches, and a new electronic management tuned the turbo, engine torque and the gearbox to the driving style (Shift Energy Management and Adaptive Shift Control). Finally, the 1995 model year saw the introduction of 17‑inch wheels. 7 October 1994: Factory departure of the vehicle 20 February 1995: Delivery of the new vehicle by British Motors - Bentley Monaco 6 September 1995: Service by British Motors at 2, 645 km 26 January 1999: Service by British Motors at 23, 396 km 9 October 2008: Service by Continental Automobiles and MOT test at 38, 764 km 19 November 2008: Vehicle registered in France 7 November 2011: Service by P.
