Having had the pleasure of selling these cars since the big BHP R Mulliner was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motorshow more than 20 years ago, we have had many of these incredible cars pass through our hands and they still never fail to deliver outside lane, blistering performance. You immediately feel the benefit of the comfort to drive on the SWB base, twinned with the massive grunt of the 420BHP T powerplant.
Our incredible car is 1 of the 217 LHD cars built worldwide. The production of the series ran from 1997 till 2003 when the final cars were built to order before production was discontinued. Widely recognised to be the last real ‘coach-built Bentley’, these wide-body cars have gathered much praise and attention when coming to the market place and are a glorious asset for any collection.

About Bentley
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.
