The Appeal

The Bentley Turbo R was a rolling billboard that sent quite the message: Bentley was eagerly stepping into a new era. These were surprisingly imposing machines that felt cutting-edge and thoroughly modern, powered by a big turbo V8 and proudly boasting a palatial interior. With its turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 producing enough punch for a claimed 0–60 mph time of six seconds, it was reputedly the fastest four-door sedan of its era.
This 1989 example is finished in rare Brooklands green over a matching green leather interior, quintessentially retro and super distinctive. It has been in the current owner's care for approximately seven years, during which time it has been driven regularly on short trips to keep everything in good working order. A stamped service book records regular maintenance at Bentley main dealers and, more recently, at a local specialist. Recent work has included new tires, an air conditioning upgrade, replacement window seals, and the installation of a new central locking and immobilizer system. Three keys accompany the sale.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to have the vehicle fully inspected prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no outstanding finance, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration plate is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
