The Appeal
The Turbo R exuded authority. Largely transitioned from the Mulsanne Turbo, the 'R' stood for road holding, which it proved in droves. Still carrying the 6.75-litre V8 under the bonnet and every bit as big, bulky, and imposing—not to mention carrying all the glamour of a Pullman carriage—the new car was revolutionised with a redesigned, optimised suspension and wider tyres on aluminium wheels. The result was a car widely lauded as one of the best Bentleys in decades.
This fine 1995 car is an excellent example of the model. A luxuriant Royal Blue metallic really sets the car's stately aura, accented by its handsome Parchment leather cabin. Diligently maintained, beautifully kept and highly original, this is a luxurious land-liner that's got everything going for it - accompanied by a long MOT, an amiably low number on the odometer and a whopping paperwork file.
