With a remarkably low 59, 000 miles from new, this Bentley boasts a provenance that is increasingly difficult to find. It has been cherished by just two owners since 2000 and comes with a comprehensive service history comprised of both main dealer and renowned specialist stamps. The accompanying history file is extensive, including a detailed collection of invoices and every MOT certificate to verify the mileage. The most recent service was performed in January 2026 and and it will soon have a new NCT which will prove its readiness for the next owner.
This particular example is finished in the majestic and rare Seychelles Blue Metallic, a deep, liquid hue that perfectly accentuates the car’s proportions. The exterior is in truly magnificent, unmarked condition, reflecting a life of meticulous care. Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in British craftsmanship, featuring pristine Sand leather that remains soft and supple. The mirror-matched burr walnut veneers, deep-pile lambswool over-mats, and polished switchgear all present as though the car has just left the showroom, providing an interior sensory experience that modern luxury vehicles simply cannot replicate.
On a personal note, having owned and sold many of these Bentleys over the years, I have developed a keen eye for what separates a "good" Turbo R from a truly "great" one. It is rare to find an example that maintains such a tight, factory-fresh feel in its steering and suspension while looking this sharp in the metal. This Seychelles Blue beauty is, without exaggeration, one of the very best I have ever had the pleasure of offering. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, exceptionally well-documented example of what many consider to be the last "real" hand-built Bentley.
It's worth remembering, the Bentley Turbo R is the car that famously restored the "Spirit of Performance" to the Crewe factory, earning its "R" for Roadholding by blending locomotive-like power with a sophisticated, stiffened chassis. By 1994, the model had reached a peak of refinement, benefiting from the updated four-speed GM 4L80-E automatic transmission and a revised cylinder head design that pushed the legendary 6. 75-litre V8 to approximately 355 bhp. This era of the Turbo R is widely considered the "sweet spot" for collectors, offering the classic, hand-built charm of the SZ-series generation combined with the modern drivability of electronic fuel injection and adaptive ride control.
