Vehicle Description
First and foremost, the introduction to this description is
paramount; this is the most immaculate and "like-new" Bentley Turbo
RL you will find anywhere. So spectacular in its exemplary
condition and presentation, you would be well and truly forgiven to
think you are looking at a 1 or 2 year old example. She is
stunning!! An incredibly fine example of a Turbo RL finished in
delectable (and rare) British Racing Green with handsome rich tan
Connolly hide interior with all matching Wilton wool carpets and
as-new factory mouton overlays. This is a rare car in several ways.
Firstly, it is an RL, the "L" standing for Long Wheel Base. Not
many Bentley Turbo RLs were ordered. Secondly, when ordered by the
customer (a seasoned Rolls-Royce and Bentley owner) he specifically
requested Rolls-Royce specification seats as opposed to the
standard Bentley seats which were sportier in appearance but rather
uncomfortable for long drives. Mileage is an incredible 13,000!
And, she is a 1-owner from new. This Turbo RL is factory original
in every single way. Nothing has been changed and everything is
original: 100% original paint 100% original leather 100% original
wood. Looking at the photos, if you see a spot, a dot, a mark - it
is simply a piece of dust, a reflection or an aberration in the
photo. The car, especially the interior, is virtually blemish free;
the leather is literally "as-new", as is the headliner, carpets and
all finishes. The car was with us last year for a complete "service
update". Anything needing doing was done. The only thing I would
recommend to the car is fitting a correct set of Avon Turbosteel
tyres as specified for all Turbo Rs. It does have a very new set of
tyres fitted with no issues sporting plenty of tread, but for this
car being everything that is close to perfect, it should have the
correct tyres. We will happily discuss the supply and fitting of
these at a fair price if you agree. With all services up to date,
the car drives incredibly nice. The ride and power of these 3rd
generation (50,000+ series) Turbo Rs is quite superior to the early
examples which were not that spritely and had the odd rattle and
thumps associated with different suspension set up. At almost
400BHP in a behemoth of a motorcar, she can really lift up her
skirts and go. As once stated in Modern Car's review upon its
release, nothing is more descriptive than the line; "such is the
power of this 2.5 ton behemoth, when you power down streets in
Sussex, she blows leaves off trees in Kent!" Nothing more can
really be said about this example other than to reiterate, she is
as "perfect" as you could possibly expect. Please take the time to
look at all the pictures to best appreciate how fine this Turbo RL
is. As a darling example, please do expect to pay a strong price.
This is a 100% turn-key example that needs nothing but to be
enjoyed and driven. Let there be no doubt, this is a show-quality
example. ~~ A truly immaculate show-quality example Bentley Turbo
RL. To emphasise, I repeat; show-quality example, in stunning and
bold British Racing Green with tan Connolly leather. ~~
