The Appeal
Although the Turbo R was essentially a reworked Mulsanne Turbo, there's no doubt that the rework was impressive. Compared to its distinctly floaty predecessor, the Turbo R was a determined yet undeniably satisfying drive that was easy to control and luxuriously appointed - while providing plenty of grunt under the bonnet. It quickly became a keystone in Crewe's repertoire - and they continue to garner quite a fanbase.
With an affable interior of blue and ivory, this classic feels distinctly regal and commands plenty of attention thanks to those iconic, distinguished lines. It's a superb example, with a history of loving maintenance and plenty of paperwork.
