The Appeal
The Bentley Turbo R has gone down as a hallmark in the distinguished brand’s repertoire. With rock-solid build quality, impressive tactile styling and a turbocharged V8, these luxury cars were prim and proper in the right places, while offering plenty of power and pull under the bonnet.
This example comes to us in a smashing, distinguished colour combo, having been regularly serviced and carefully cossetted.
