C1988 BENTLEY TURBO R - Lot 85
C1988 BENTLEY TURBO R 103,191 kilometres English registration No registration Flagship of the Crewe firm, the Bentley Turbo R is a monument of the British automobile. With a classic design, but with a very modern technology, it was notably the car of the kings and queens of the time. Technically superior to its Spirit of Ecstasy cousin, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, the Turbo R was also much less expensive. This is what allowed it to save the brand, whose accounts had been at their lowest since the late 1970s. From a clumsy limousine like the Bentley Mulsanne, the Turbo R managed to become sporty! Indeed, the power, although still "sufficient" had become "more than sufficient" by the addition of a Turbo, allowing it to develop about 360 horsepower capable of taking the beast to over 230 kilometers per hour! The whole thing was then kept on the road thanks to a revised suspension with a Panhard bar! This Bentley Turbo R needs some restoration work. It is a left hand drive. Its odometer shows 103,191 kilometres. It has British plates and will be sold without papers.
