SUMMARY

Beautifully presented in Sherwood Green, this is a fantastic example one of the best modern-era sporting Bentleys.

DESCRIPTION

In 1995, the ‘New Turbo R’ was launched, still based on the Mulsanne chassis, but now with Zytec digital engine management and digital ignition
Powered by a turbocharged 6,750cc V8 mated to a GM 4-speed gearbox but more highly tuned than the Mulsanne and featuring Bosch fuel-injection, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars, superior dampers, and a sport mode that not only maximised in-gear acceleration but also stiffened the suspension
There were a number of external changes including 17" wheels with bigger Avon tyres, body-coloured mirrors, brighter headlamps and more aggressive ‘ground effect’ aerodynamics which made the car more planted the faster it went
The interior also benefited from improved seats, a tilt steering wheel, and a host of other revisions to make the cabin an even more luxurious place to be
This stylish example is finished in Sherwood Green over Spruce-piped Magnolia hide and Burr Walnut veneers and door cappings
Supplied with its original service handbook and much service history. Recent new suspension hydraulic spheres and four new Michelin tyres. Will have a fresh MOT prior to sale
Just 1,366 New Turbo Rs were made in total, 823 in long-wheelbase form, before it was replaced by the Arnage at the end of 1997, making this now a rare car
