Vehicle Description
Pedigree Motorcars is proud to offer this rare One Owner 1998
Bentley Continental R Special Edition. Please contact Scott Comora
at 305-308-2926 for detailed information and a great opportunity to
own a piece of Bentley history. Having been a lifelong Bentley and
Rolls Royce owner for many decades has provided me with an astute
and enjoyable knowledge of both marques, and enabled me to create a
network of experts to help search out only the best examples
available. This gorgeous Continental R Special Edition finished in
Black over Black Connolly hides was originally purchased new off
the showroom floor at EuroMotorcars of Bethesda Maryland, the
authorized Bentley new car dealer, by its one and only owner to
date. It is 1 of only 10 produced for the world where production #1
was purchased by and delivered to its owner in Germany, where it
has been since. This is #8 of the 10 produced where only 9 remain
in the US. We have the original window sticker showing a MSRP of
$338,956.00, not including the luxury tax paid buy its owner upon
delivery. Specific to this example, and in addition to all the
options fitted by the factory to the Special Edition was the flying
B Mascot fitted to the top of the grill. This was at the request of
the US purchaser prior to taking delivery. This had to be done by
the factory in England and on a separate new grill, prior to the
factory drilling the holes necessary to place the flat winged B
plaque which is fitted to all other Bentleys that left the factory.
We know this by sitting with the original owner and hearing him
explain how he demanded it to be done exactly as he requested by
the factory in England, and finally by him personally giving us
possession of the original grill, removed from the car at the
delivering dealer, with the flat plaque winged B fitted to it,
boxed and never seen daylightuntil we opened it. This Bentley
Continental R Special Edition is specified as such on the original
window sticker by having the Mulliner Park Ward option, which adds
$19,556.00 to the original MSRP of $319,400 creating its $338,956
price and includes: 18 Continental T Wheels Six Gauge Console
Instruments w/Turbo Boost Gauge Stainless Steel Gear Shift Dilled
Brake and Accelerator Pedal Red Starter Push-Button Adjacent to Key
Chrome Gauge Bezels Front Wing Vents Pinnacle Style Continental T
Exhaust Pipe Oval Tailpipe Sports Mode Switch on LH Facia Trim
Panel Color Coded Bumpers Body Colored Headlamp Surrounds Complete
Steering Wheel Trimmed in Black All of the original factory Books,
2 Keys and 2 Remotes accompany this motorcar including a 3 inch
thick folder of original service records from day one as well as
the original window sticker, custom Bentley Continental R car
cover, Alpine Audio System including Navigation and all
accompanying instruction manuals. Clean CarFax and so much more. We
have gone through this motorcar and have performed all the
necessary services including replacing with new parts both Rear Gas
Springs, Lower Front Suspension Bushings, O Ring Sets, Mineral Oil,
etc. I have previously owned a 98 Bentley Continental R, amongst
other Bentley and Rolls Royces, in which Ive had the pleasure of
driving daily for years and therefore know exactly how this
motorcar should perform in every way. I service them properly and
make them an enjoyable experience to own and drive. This motorcar
needs nothing and is ready for pure enjoyment as it performs as it
did when new with smooth power and amazing torque, Ice cold A/C,
seamless shifting, and every single switch, light and button works
as when it was delivered new. Fitted with proper and like new
Pirelli tires. No Leaks underneath in the garage and no shrinkage
of the dashboard leather anywhere. Ive had This Bentley sit still
and running with the a/c on for long periods of time and never saw
the temperature gauge move past normal, as a real one that has been
owned and serviced properly should. This is without a doubt t...
