Highlights

  • Eyecatching red Bentley with sumptuous interior
  • Impressive 6.75L Turbo V8 powerplant with automatic transmission
  • Ex-USA with all EU import taxes and duties paid

The Appeal

The Bentley for the modern age, the Turbo R was a high-performance luxury car that was welcomed with impressive ardour when it hit the market in 1985. With its bold turbo V8, the impressive array of interiors and - crucially - the car’s ‘roadholding’ suspension, this became the flagship of the company for over a decade, and with 7,230 produced, is amongst the most successful Bentleys in history. 
This example, originally based in the USA, is in need of some mechanical, cosmetic and electrical work - but should make the perfect backbone for a restoration project. Ready and waiting to be restored for the road, the colour and enviable interior of this Turbo R should make this a very tempting prospect. We’re sure it’ll make a superb project for the dedicated enthusiast.
