The Atelier des 1000 is pleased to present for sale this superb Bentley Continental R Mulliner Park Ward, shown in a particularly desirable configuration, dressed in a deep Royal Red complemented by a sumptuous white and red leather interior.
A true symbol of Bentley’s sporting renaissance at the start of the 1990s, the Continental R was the first wholly new model for the brand since the 1960s.
Designed, developed and assembled in Crewe, it marks Bentley’s stylistic emancipation and asserts a more dynamic positioning, while preserving the artisanal excellence inherited from the firm.
It embodies English grand touring in its most noble form, a long two-door coupe with powerful lines, enhanced by its iconic vertical grille and majestic proportions.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find the legendary 6. 75-litre turbocharged V8, delivering impressive torque and sovereign push, paired with a smooth GM 4-speed automatic transmission. More than a sports car, the Continental R is an authentic GT capable of swallowing up miles in princely comfort.
Ordered new by the Embassy of Japan on 02/ 10/ 1992, by Cornes & Co., official Bentley importer, this left-hand-drive example is among the early units produced, identifiable by its airbags-free steering wheel. What’s more, this example benefits from a low mileage of 83, 000 km, testimony to measured use and maintenance guaranteed by the diplomatic corps.
For sale, the vehicle has been handed to a professional to perform a full mechanical service and to ensure its future owner has peace of mind.
Mechanically, the car behaves perfectly, the engine is in excellent health, it starts easily, with no noise or smoke, and delivers surprising power for a car of this size. The engine has been oil-changed, spark plugs and auxiliary belts replaced, and the cooling system has been serviced.
The automatic transmission proves smooth and effortless; it has been serviced for sale, and its oil strainer was replaced. The differential has also been serviced for the occasion.
The power steering provides excellent handling, and the system has also been serviced for the sale.
The running gear shows no play and the overall behaviour is stable, healthy and perfectly balanced.
Braking is particularly powerful and reassuring, and the system has just been checked, serviced and bled.
The wheels are in good condition and fitted with recent tyres.
The paintwork is in very good condition and shines well.
Finally, the interior captivates with its original and refined Mulliner Park Ward craftsmanship.
The full-grain white leather upholstery, accentuated by red piping, is in very good condition. Soft and gently patinated, it harmonises perfectly with the original veneered wood trim, giving the whole a genuine character and undeniable charm.
The white leather headlining is perfectly tensioned.
The carpets are particularly well preserved; only a slight wear trace is noticeable at the pedal area, consistent with the stated mileage.
The interior trim shows an excellent level of preservation. The cabin thus radiates that soft, prestigious atmosphere typical of Bentleys with a long tradition.
The onboard instrumentation is fully functional, as is the air conditioning, which has also been recharged for the sale.
In light of the configuration and condition of this vehicle, we are asking €58, 990.
