Have you decided to switch to green? Then this Bentley Continental R Mulliner might be the best option. With an exterior in Racing Green and matching interior, you're always in the right place.

In fact, the Continental R Mulliner came about because Bentley customers indicated that they wanted the power of the Continental T in a car with the wheelbase of a Continental R. The Continental R Mulliner thus has a 10 cm longer wheelbase which benefits passenger legroom.

What makes this Bentley even more special is the production number. Only 131 Continental R Mulliners were built. This one being a left hand drive example and it is to believed only 85 left hand drive Continental R Mulliners have been produced.

The Continental series was produced from 1991 – 2003 exclusively as a luxury coupe, in both T and R configurations. It was the first Bentley to not share exterior design with Rolls-Royce models, as had previously been the case since the mid 60s.
While several iterations of the car evolved over the years, by the year 2000, Bentley offered the Continental R Mulliner, combining the power of the Continental T with the longer wheelbase of the wider and more luxuriant R. As part of that offering, the phenomenal 6.7 Liter turbocharged V8 engine delivered 420 hp and 650 lb. ft. of torque mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The performance was nothing short of remarkable, making the Continental R the fastest Bentley ever produced. 0-60 took a mere 5.6 seconds and top speed of 170 mph was smoothly achieved with 4-wheel independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes, and self-leveling hydraulic suspension with adaptive ride control.

ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC EXAMPLE

This Bentley is an originally Dutch delivered example and comes with the full maintenance history. The car comes from a very long ownership and therefore has always been perfectly maintained.

The previous owner has used his Bentley frequently. The odometer now shows a mileage of 96,956 km since new.

CONDITION EXTERIOR

For a 1999 car, the exterior condition is still very clean. There is minimal wear and the car is in overall excellent condition.

CONDITION INTERIOR

DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The driving experience is very refined and elegant. The presence of this Continental R cannot be overstated either when parked or gracefully underway. The controls are easy to use and inviting to the touch. The engine quietly purrs under normal use, but lets out a subtle roar under command, pulling strong with surprising power and excellent response. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly in all speeds, free of abrupt shifts or delays.
