1988 Bentley Continental Convertible (RHD)
The Bentley Continental was a worthy scion of this noble British family, impeccably engineered and hand-built in the time-honoured manner by Mulliner Park Ward Limited’s peerless craftsmen. Like its illustrious forebears, the Continental represented the ultimate in bespoke coach-built motoring, designed to appeal to those discerning – and necessarily very wealthy – clients with the most refined of tastes, a well developed appreciation for the finer things of life and a refusal to accept anything less than the very best. Far from being an outmoded concept, this uncompromising approach was so successful and demand for the exclusive Continental so sustained, that it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last examples being delivered in 1995 by which time the UK price had risen to well in excess of £100,000.
DD Classics is pleased to offer this superb right-hand drive example, finished in its beautiful colour scheme of absolutely stunning Masons Black, paired with twin claret coachlines and a contrasting Black Mohair Soft top, complemented by Piano Black lacquered Woodwork and Black Connolly Hide finished off with Black Wilton Carpets and over rugs.
Having only completed a mere 41,100 miles from new this Continental Convertible presents in superb condition throughout.

Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.
Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
