1992 Bentley Continental R

Since 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The "Continental" designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The "R" resonates to the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. This series boasts the most powerful engine after the Continental T and has a power output of 420bhp and a maximum torque of 650 ft-lb. The car could be pushed to a staggering top speed of some 170mph.

This beautiful two door coupé example is from 1992, though remains in all-round pleasing condition thanks in part to its impressive service history. Finished in stylish Brewster Green coachwork with Cream leather interior, green piping and matching leather finished walnut dashboard, the opulent cabin is enormously comfortable and luxurious. This car has been regularly serviced throughout its circa 93,000 miles by main dealers and specialist agents including Broughtons of Cheltenham, Jack Barclay of London, Michael Powles of Norwich, Hanwells of West London and Ghost Motors of Kent before being sold to Ireland. D&M Motors of Dublin have maintained the car since, most recently replacing the rear-spring cups at the rear suspension, addressing some blemishes to the passenger side sill, and overhauling the power steering rack.

This is a very good example of a much appreciated marque and model. A car that you would not be frightened to enjoy. It is a very usable car that faultlessly marries both style and performance. Offered today at a very sensible price guide this truly is an enormous amount of specialist motor car for family hatchback expenditure.

Currently on Irish registration, the vendor has copies of the previous UK V5 document and confirms that it passed the more stringent Irish equivalent MoT certificate and emissions test only two months ago.
