1993 | Bentley Continental R

94,233

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.

This lovely example of this classic British luxury coupe is presented in gleaming black with cream leather interior. The front seats are electrically operated and it comes with electric windows, stereo system and two sets of keys. This wonderful Bentley comes with a good service history in three large lever arch folders, including a full Jack Barclay service history up until 2021 and the last invoice for work completed shows an expenditure of £12,917 with Jack Barclay in 2021 at 93,905 miles. In great overall condition, this must surely be one of the most desirable examples of this iconic model available, particularly in black which looks superb. Consigned by James Good
