Vehicle Description
1988 Bentley Continental for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to
present this exquisite 1988 Bentley Continental Convertible
featured in iconic British Racing Green with Tan leather interior,
piped in green, and matching Tan convertible top and boot cover.
The body is highlighted by fine tan pinstriping. The Bentley
Continental Convertible is very rare compared to the corresponding
Rolls Corniche Convertible, and it is considered more desirable
because of its understated front end styling and Bentleys sporting
heritage. Between 1985 and 1989 a total of only 195 Continental
Convertibles were sold worldwide, of which a small percentage came
to the United States. Historic data and value guides show that the
Continental brings a substantial premium over its Rolls Corniche
cousin.Our car has been cherished since new, and has covered only
33,633 miles. For 1988 the Bentley Continental received the same
upgrades that led Rolls-Royce to change the designation of their
car to Corniche II. Upgrades include rack and pinion steering,
alloy wheels, airbags, ABS and bi-level air-conditioning. The car
is powered by Rolls renowned 6.75 Liter V-8 with Bosch fuel
injection and features a four speed automatic transmission.This
Bentley comes to us from a long-term owner and he purchased the car
from us perhaps a decade ago. Recent work includes a new
convertible top, brakes, and steering column rebuild. It has a
Pioneer sound system, and it is a delight to drive. With their
Mulliner Park Ward coachwork, and bespoke quality, the best
examples of these fine convertibles will be treasured by collectors
for decades to come. This is a fine example of a very rare car in
arguably the best color combination. Your inspection is invited.
