Vehicle Description
Here is a really stunning looking Bentley Turbo R finished in
Masons black with biscuit/honey tan Connolly hides. The twin fine
lines to the waist-rails are hand-painted in matching tan. This
Bentley is very well known to us having been fully maintained by us
by an owner who would request everything and anything be done
without sparing expense. Every service is completley up to date.
The car has travelled only 56,000 miles. We make no apology for
this Turbo R being higher priced than many, but we can assure you
this will be amongst the finer example Turbo Rs you will find. She
needs nothing. The economy in price will be proven by low
maintenance in ownership. The Bentley Turbo R is powered by a 6.75
litre Rolls-Royce designed V8 engine with the Bosch fuel injecton
system and Garret Turbo-charger. Exuding in excess of 300
horsepower it pumped out over 500 foot pounds of torque. So she is
quite spritely indeed and, quoting Modern Car's review upon its
release; "such is the power of this 2.5 ton behemoth, when you
power down streets in Sussex, she blows leaves off trees in Kent!".
It has the look and a true behemoth it is! With the black and
completely colour-coded bumpers, this is indeed a handsome beast.
This Bentley is what is known as the "20,000 series" car, which is
a desirable model having had incorporated many engineering and
design upgrades. Most notably, the introduction of Bosch electrics,
eliminating the troublesome Lucas issues. Having been meticulously
maintained by Park-Ward, this Bentley Turbo needs absoltely
nothing. Some $20,000 was spent at its last major services to
include mechnaical, electrical and some cosmetic items. Nothing was
over-looked, ignored or deferred. A copy of the last services is
available upon request. I reiterate, mechanically and
operationally, this car needs nothing - guaranteed. Under the
bonnet, the presentation is amazing. It has not been precision
detailed but simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life. The
car sports factory specification original Turbo R alloy wheels. The
body of the car is straight and the paint deep in lustre and
consistency. It does have a few minor little chips and marks 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 interior of this car is stunning. The
Connolly leather shows beautifully & is completely original. It has
never been re-dyed or messed with & yet remains very soft & supple
without any signs of typical wear. The wood throughout is excellent
& can comfortably be described as near perfect showing almost no
lacquer cracks, chips or marks. Carpets, seats, dash, front
top-roll, rear parcel shelf & fixtures are truly excellent and I
best encourage you to look at all the photos to fully appreciate
how nicely the interior presents. The car also had an up-market
current technology Blaupunkt stereo CD system recently fitted by
Park-Ward. As part of Park-Ward's maintenance program, all
electricals & features & functions have been inspected so
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 & 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 & rides as a Bentley should. As an example of the meticulous
attention to her maintenance, new tyres were recently fitted on
rims that were sand-blasted & powder-coated to factory finish. When
describing a car for sale, one should be very careful to use terms
like "perfect" & "flawless" because nothing but a brand new car can
be described this way. That said, this Bentley is very close to, is
of a very high standard & is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating.
She is 100% factory original presentation. www
