Vehicle Description
Description: Here we have this rare 1 of 12 1998 Bentley Brooklands R LWB that is in excellent condition with just 52k miles on the clock. This is the ‘R’ version of the Brooklands LWB which has the upgraded suspension from the Bentley Turbo R. This long wheelbase version of the Brooklands R is just 1 of 12 produced between 1998-1999.
Interior: The perfect leather is plush and comfortable. There is nothing like driving a turbocharged luxury sedan that is comparable to sitting on the couch in your living room. The wood accent on the door panels and surrounding the gauges is beautiful. Everything has been well maintained and is great condition. All of the lights, switches, gauges, and buttons are in perfect working order. Even the memory seats and ‘easy exit’ mode works. There is no fading or tearing on the seats, and the carpet, headliner, and dashboard are all in excellent shape.
Exterior: The exterior is comprised of the usual clean and elegant lines and styling cues that make up a Bentley’s body. The dark red paint looks exceptional in the sun, as does the hand laid pin stripes. The wheels are tires look like new and all of the trim and badges look perfect. The larger body and longer wheelbase makes for a much more luxurious look than the short wheelbase Bentleys have.
Drivetrain: The turbocharged V8 produces 300 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. Even though this land yacht weighs over 5,000 lbs it still gets up and goes with ease. This car tracks straight and drives perfectly. The engine and transmission work in harmony together. The power is distributed well and delivered smoothly. There are no hiccups, strange noises or leaks. The brakes are very responsive and do not fade, this was a very well maintained car.
