Vehicle Description
Rarely can one name make everyone in the room take notice. No
matter if you're among high society or casual enthusiasts, everyone
notices when a Bentley arrives. So when a 1982 Bentley Mulsanne has
such low mileage and so well maintained - and the price is this
obtainable - you know this is a wonderful opportunity at opulence
on wheels.
This generation Mulsanne was built alongside its Rolls-Royce
counterpart at the famous factory in Crew. And while you got the
same hand-crafted experience, the Bentley was a far rarer treat. In
fact, there were as few as 55 Mulsannes made in 1982 - and only 16
in left-hand drive. So this is very rare company! Rarity also has
careful craftsmanship seen from every angle with a sedan that
continues to fit together beautifully. The doors open and close
with a precision that has to be experienced to be believed, and the
panel alignment is the result of one very fussy gentleman sweating
the details until everything was exactly right. In fact, just look
at the wheels. They have a white insert with red pinstripe which
purposely match the paint/pinstripe color combo. It's this kind of
attention to detail that makes a Bentley command respect everywhere
it goes, and it is still very present in this piece today.
The pinstriping is also a preview of the interior - it's another
sign of a thoughtfully-crafted sedan. The supple leather interior
finished in a bold red perfectly fits the image of a luxurious and
sporty Bentley. This is a low mileage machine barely averaging over
1,000 miles annually. That means it's an impressive overall
presentation of burled walnut, Connolly leather, and lamb's wool.
The view from behind the traditional glossy black wheel is a great
reminder how true craftsmanship should be. It includes power
windows, power seats, and cruise control. The radio has been
upgraded to a modern AM/FM/CD stereo to give you the best in modern
music. And the special climate control with both upper and lower
settings has been upgraded to R134a air conditioning to cool the
cabin perfectly. So you always arrive looking and feeling
refreshed.
The smooth running 6.75-liter V8 under the hood is a staple of
Bentley and Rolls-Royce luxury. This is the original motor to the
car, and it has a tidy look that reminds you this is a low-mileage
and well-respected classic. And this one has $8,000 in maintenance
receipts over the last few years to help ensure that top-quality
legacy. The fuel-injected engine was built to always have power in
reserve. Its full force is delivered not like a muscle car, but
more like an express train. The engineers went to great lengths to
isolate the mechanical workings from passengers, and as a result,
the motor is highly refined. This is luxury for every destination
thanks to a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission
(borrowed from GM for better reliability) and power steering. The
fully independent suspension has a self-leveling feature that keeps
the big sedan on an even keel no matter the load, and it stays
sure-footed with four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with the original warranty card, owner's
manual packet, and maintenance records. This well-maintained and
fully sorted Bentley is a very affordable way to purchase extreme
luxury. Call today!!!
