Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1988 Bentley Mulsanne S.
Finished in the lovely shade of Magnolia (light beige) over
parchment leather hides with dark brown piping and chocolate brown
carpets, this is an attractive and well-maintained example under
present ownership since 2008. Clean CarFax with no reported
accidents; straight and solid body with no known rust. Factory
15-inch wheels are wearing Hankook Kinergy tires with 2023 date
codes. This was one of the most expensive luxury cars you could buy
in 1988; with a base price of $107,500, that would be equivalent to
just over $300k in 2026 dollars.
The interior still smells faintly of leather, wool and wood (with
no off odors) and is a very comfortable place to spend time.
Leather seating surfaces remain soft and supple with only minor
wear and no damage; carpets, wood veneers and headliner all remain
in well-kept original condition. A/C blows ice cold and literally
everything is working - power seats, climate functions, all gauges
and lights, all power windows, wipers, town and country horns - the
only deviation from stock is a modern stereo.
Under the hood is a 6.75 liter V8 mated to an automatic
transmission; this Bentley has been maintained with an open
checkbook with over $35k in records under present ownership. Recent
service within the last year includes an oil service, rear brakes
including calipers, rear suspension accumulators, plus a/c service.
Additional major service within the last five years has included
front brakes, control arm bushings, alternator, steering rack and
new tires. This car is smooth, quiet and comfortable even by modern
standards.
As values have succumbed to depreciation on these and other luxury
cars, sometimes they fall into a state of benign neglect when in
the hands of an owner who can afford the purchase price, but not
the maintenance. If you're in the market for a Bentley or
Rolls-Royce from this era, a well-cared-for example like this is
one you want to buy (otherwise the deferred maintenance bill could
easily exceed the value of the car).
Original owner's book, factory jack and tools, and comprehensive
records since 2008 are included with the sale. For more information
