The significance of the Bentley Continental R cannot be overstated. Not only was it the fastest, most powerful and most expensive Bentley of its day – and, indeed, the most expensive production car ever built at the time – but its development marked a sea-change for the brand from being one that seemingly re-badged Rolls Royces, to one that would celebrate its sporting nature and reinforce their place as producers of the world’s finest cars.
Finished in stunning Ascot Green, this 1991 example has wanted for nothing over its 83k miles and has been incredibly well looked after by its 3 previous owners.
It’s impossible to not be impressed with the size and presence of the Continental R. The imposing grille and elongated lines are complimented by a recent full paint job to an exceptional standard, and the bodywork, wheels and brightwork are all flawless.
Inside, the matching green leather and red piped seats, together with the green leather stitched dashboard, acres of wood and deep pile red carpet, add to the feeling of opulence. Every journey feels special in this car.
The once most expensive car in the world doesn’t lack in the mechanical department, either. The 6. 75 litre V8 Turbo, the same as fitted to the Turbo R, delivers huge grunt and the self-levelling hydraulic active ride suspension provides remarkable handling for such a large car. Afterall, the R stands for Road-holding.
Complete with a huge history file including recent works totalling £50k by a specialist for bodywork and extensive mechanical work, and eligible for classic tax in Ireland in 2021, this exceptional and highly desirable Continental R is ready to be enjoyed.
