1997 Bentley Turbo R LWB

Highlights

  • A very handsome example that presents really well for its age
  • Powered by a 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine
  • The green paintwork is the perfect complement to a cream interior with walnut veneers 
  • Full bodywork restoration in 2022 & wax oiled underneath

The Appeal

Renowned for its expert blending of performance and luxury, the Bentley Turbo R received a great deal of praise in period and they’re becoming something of a modern classic today.
Here we have a very presentable 1997 example, finished in a particularly fetching colour combination and benefiting from some fairly recent servicing work. The vendor informs us that it continues to drive very well and it remains in fine condition. 

The History and Paperwork

  • V5C present
  • MOT valid until 28th March, 2023 with no advisories
  • 111,724 miles which is supported by recent MOT history
  • In November 2019, the car was entrusted to marque specialist N Sandell, who carried out some servicing work to the brakes and hydraulic systems, the oil cooling system and a few other service items which yielded an invoice of £1,000
  • The vendor advises that it will be supplied with a fresh MOT

The Interior

  • Trimmed in opulent cream leather with green piping to match the exterior
  • Swathes of walnut adorn the dashboard and door cappings
  • Green carpeting with overrugs and cream piping which presents really well
  • Considering that this is now a 26 year old car, there’s not much in the way of wear to report
  • The upholstery has worn in nicely with some gentle patina and the same can be said for the woodwork
  • Very little to report in the way of wear to the rear seats
  • These were amongst the last Bentleys to have a very analogue feel to the cabin  -  it’s all nice instruments and switchgear with no infotainment systems in sight
  • The capacious boot remains really smart

The Exterior 

  • Very attractive green paintwork
  • Very few blemishes to be seen
  • The bodywork appears to be really straight
  • Besides a few small marks, the alloys still look very good
  • The chrome trims all present nicely, with no obvious signs of deterioration
  • We noticed a small paint blemish next to the window rim on the nearside rear
  • So far as we could see, the underside appears in good condition

The Mechanics 

  • 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine
  • Automatic gearbox
  • Presents well under the bonnet
  • We understand that the car drives very well and the vendor does not report any faults

Summary

This is a very presentable example of one of Bentley’s finest cars. If lashings of luxury and performance appeal, then look no further…
