Bentley Turbo R 1997
General description :
Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer this 1997 Bentley Turbo RT For Sale.
Registration: TBC
Chassis no: SCBZP23C8WCH66141
Mileage: 54,000
Capitalising on the essentially bespoke nature of its manufacturing, Rolls-Royce introduced a host of limited-edition variations on the modern 'Blower Bentley' theme in the 1990s.
One of the very last was the Turbo RT. Introduced in July 1997 on the previously optional, but now standard, longer wheelbase of the Bentley Turbo RL, the Turbo RT came with the 400bhp engine of the two-door Continental T and was outwardly distinguishable by a new mesh radiator grille and body-coloured bumpers with bright mesh inserts.
Performance was breathtaking: with a top speed of 152mph the ultra-luxurious Turbo RT was one of the world's fastest four-door saloons and came with a price tag to match, costing £148,990 in the UK when launched. The Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only, only 250 examples were made.
The exterior is finished in Midnight Blue with a double cream coach line. The paintwork is simply superb with no heavy scratches or blemishes.
The interior is in perfect condition, the Magnolia leather looks like new and is complimented by dark blue piping, carpets and over rugs.
To drive the low mileage car benifits from just two owners and full service history from Jack Barclay and P&A Wood. The most recent service was carried out prior to sale at P&A Wood where we collected her from.
In our showroom and ready for viewing.

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.
