Since 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The 'Continental' designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The 'R' resonates to the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. Bentley's 1980s resurgence relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce models, however, the Bentley Continental R was unique to the Bentley marque. Despite the need to incorporate non-traditional features such as doors recessed into the roof, the result looked every bit a Bentley, albeit one restated for the 1990s. Needless to say, the performance was outstanding, the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape cutting the 0-60mph time to under six seconds and boosting a top speed in excess of 150mph.
Originally registered on 4th February 1994 this Bentley Continental R has been lovingly cared for by the vendor. Presenting exceptionally well in Red Pearl which is complemented by Sandstone interior, the cockpit of a Continental R is an area of beauty with walnut wood and gauges featuring highly. The paintwork was refreshed in 2011 and appears to have been done to a very high standard as the car remains virtually unblemished. In recent times the fastidious vendor has had the car looked after by marque specialist Frank Dale & Stepsons. Sitting proudly on the correct Avon Turbospeed tyres this regal Bentley will have the cherished registration plate removed at the point of sale and a new age related plate issued. Supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until 3rd November 2024 and a good history file. The Continental R is a superb design from the 90's with prices likely to remain firm as the classic shape continues to attract admirers. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
