General description :
Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer this 1995 Bentley Turbo RL For Sale.
This stunning example comes to us having covered no more than 30,000 Miles and a well-documented service record.
The interior is as new and as soon as you open the door the quality of maintenance and care is obvious as the leather is in a lovely and unmolested condition. The rear benefits from the added leg room of the Long Wheelbase Model and is an idyllic place to be.
The exterior is finished in Masons Black and complimented by a red coachline, the paint work is in great condition throughout, again having benefitted by the care from previous owners.
To drive is a real pleasure as the 6,75 litre V 8 engine allows you to glide along the road effortlessly, and for the times where a little more urgency is needed the Garrett Turbo allows a top speed of almost 150mph.
This model is in our showroom and available for viewing.
Though the company stated that it didn't position itself on the leading edge of fashionable automotive phases it could hardly be denied that the Bentley Turbo R was placed just there.
The 145 mph Bentley Turbo R was launched at the Geneva Show in March, 1985. It was said that the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo should remain in production too.
But this decision was revised when within a short period interest in that previous model faded at an almost shocking rate because the Bentley Turbo R was superior in handling.
Modified front and rear suspension, the first-time use of alloy wheels and wider tyres, and a front air dam put the car's handling in the thoroughbred sports car category.
The Bentley Turbo R achieved a sales figure which made it one of Rolls-Royce's best-selling models ever.
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.
