The Appeal
Much respected as Bentley's return to form, the Turbo R was a modern evolution of what, in essence, was a very straightforward formula - big-engined luxury in a classy, upright saloon. The Turbo R saw much-improved handling and performance in line with the modern motorist's expectations. Indeed, if previous Bentleys were meant to be chauffeured, the Turbo R was amongst the first to demand being driven.
Having been garage-kept for the past few years by its current owner (the fourth registered keeper), this Turbo R has recently demonstrated its mechanical soundness by completing a smooth 200 km journey, and has reportedly proven a very capable car in the vendor's ownership.
