It is our pleasure to present this gorgeous all-original with one
family since new 1989 Bentley Eight. Covering a mere 45,000 miles
since new, this Bentley comes with an extensive service history
with documentation starting with the original window sticker,
purchase invoice and service records. This is likely one of the
very best original examples extant of the 173 LHD Eights produced
in 1989. The Bentley looks stately in its traditional livery of
Balmoral Green (Code 9510455) with contrasting beige pin stripe.
The paint is all original and in beautiful condition. Upon close
examination, there are some areas revealing lacquer cracking. The
integrity of the paint is excellent and it will continue to provide
long term enjoyment. There is one small dent below the trunk and
above the bumper, otherwise it is free of dents and scratches. It
does have many normal small chips in the front from highway use. We
love the chrome grill shell with the stainless steel mesh grill and
the Bentley wheels. The interior is in spectacular original
condition. The Beige leather (Code A4177) is contrasted with Green
leather piping (A3655), and the leather is unusually soft and
supple due to its continued attention and its life lived in climate
controlled garages. The leather is complemented with straight
grained wood veneer that is in excellent original condition.
Mechanically, the Bentley is in excellent condition. Nearly all
service has been performed through the past 30 years by Bentley and
Rolls-Royce dealerships. One exception is the Rolls-Royce experts
at Palma Automotive Repairs in Audubon, NJ. Everything works well
with the exception of the drivers automatic seat belt restraint
system for the shoulder belt. All other features and mechanical
components work well. The Bentley was bought new from Albers
Rolls-Royce on the 11th of September of 1989. Longtime collector
and RROC member Karl Zoller traded in his 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver
Spur which had accumulated 18,431 miles. The original sales invoice
of $111,200 is included along with decade's worth of service
history, two sets of keys and all the books and manuals. If you are
considering the acquisition of a Bentley Eight, seriously ponder
this. With the one family since new history and stunning original
condition, this example is hard to beat. For more information and
