SUMMARY
A fine example of Bentley's first-generation Turbo R with less than 48,000 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1985, the Turbo R continued the modern 'Blower Bentley' theme that had commenced with the Mulsanne Turbo, but with the added refinement of suspension better suited to the car's increased performance
- Despite its not inconsiderable weight, the Turbo R would accelerate to 60mph in under seven seconds and 135mph would be showing on the clock before the limiter cut in
- Dating from 1993, this example is presented in Racing Green over a classic Bentley interior in Magnolia hide
- With our vendor since 2016, just four previous keepers and 47,551 miles indicated
- Supplied with its original book pack including the Owners Manual, stamped service records and supporting invoices
- Jack Barclay serviced the car 13 times from 1993 until 2003 then an assortment of specialists through to Jaggard and Moore of Chelmsford more recently in 2022 and 2023, showing a good level of maintenance
- Accompanied by both keys and an MOT until April next year, this wonderful Bentley has a lot to offer
