Vehicle Description
Here is an extremely beautiful presenting Bentley Brooklands Long
Wheel Base ("LWB") sedan finished in Red pearl (rich bordeaux
colour) with cream Connolly hides and burgundy/red accents to
include dash, carpets and seat piping. The twin fine lines to the
waist-rails are hand-painted in matching cream. The LWB Brooklands
is quite rare. Out of the already low production run of some 700
left hand drive Bentley Brooklands made, only some 100 were Long
Wheel Base. The Bentley Brooklands model was initially released as
a special edition version which basically sported many of the
features of the Bentley Turbo R, but without the turbo. It is
rather unusual to find a LWB Brooklands in North America with most
of the series imported being standard saloons. This is a 50,000
series SZ so it has many significant upgrades over the 81-92 cars
and even the first series Brooklands of 1993, including the very
desirable console floor shift. This Brooklands is well known to us
having been previously owned by a long time client of ours. The car
has recently been through our shop to bring services and
maintenance up to date. The car has travelled a very modest 61,000
miles. The body of the car is super straight and the paint in
outstanding condition. It appears to be mostly original and is
consistent and very deep in lustre and shine. There are hardly any
notable chips and marks other than the most very minor ones here
and there, but these are few and only show if one looks hard.
Otherwise. it is very shiny without any fading, dents or dings.
Rubbers, mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in
excellent condition. The car ha sthe optional "Flying B" with the
centre bonnet moulding to match (not normally present on
Brooklands). The interior of this car is stunning. The
cream/Magnolia combination with rich burgundy-red piping, top-roll
and carpets are stupendously beautiful. The Connolly leather shows
beautifully and is completely original. It has never been messed
with and remains very soft and supple without any signs of even
typical wear. The car sports a new set of lambswool overlays that
are divine. The wood throughout is excellent and can comfortably be
described as near perfect showing almost no lacquer cracks, chips
or marks. And, this particular example has a very rich and deep
display of grain and knots which only the world's finest burl
walnut can offer. Carpets, seats, dash, front top-roll, rear parcel
shelf and fixtures are truly excellent and I best encourage you to
look at all the photos to fully appreciate how nicely the interior
presents. As part of Park-Ward's maintenance program, all
electricals and features & functions are inspected and serviced as
required so once received by the new owner, everything is operating
as it should; windows, seats, mirrors, A/C, heater, lights, wipers,
etc. Right down to every light bulb in the dash. This is a true,
"take the keys and drive" example with no additional budget needed
to attend to any nuances or gremlins. Being a well-maintained
example. It is tight to drive, brakes strong and rides as a Bentley
Brooklands should. When describing a car for sale, we are very
careful not to use terms like "perfect" and "flawless" because
nothing but a brand new car can be described this way. That said,
this Bentley Brooklands is very close to, is of a very high
standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is 100%
factory original in specification in every respect.
