The seller offers for sale this Bentley Turbo R. The vehicle was shipped to Miami (USA) after production in May 1989. The relevant documents and the history book from the factory are available. A purchase contract from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Exports Limited England to Rolls Royce Motor Cars INC USA is also available.
The vehicle then came to Germany in 2000 and was used for chauffeured journeys in Berlin.
After the car caught a cable fire in the engine compartment, it was sold in this condition in 2009. After reconstruction work with original parts, the car was repainted in the original color Magnolia in 2010 and kept dry in a collection in this condition for over a decade. In 2023, the vehicle was given a technical overhaul with inspection (brakes, steering, alternator, air conditioning compressor) and after a TÜV inspection with an H license plate and classic car assessment according to Classic Data in March 2024, it was registered with an H license plate for the first time after an overhaul and more than 13 years of downtime. The car’s interior has some slight wear consistent with the car’s age. Additionally, the car features disc brakes at the front and rear.
The Bentley Turbo R was introduced in 1985 as a sportier evolution of the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo. It featured improved suspension, handling, and a higher-performance engine, making it a favorite among luxury car enthusiasts. The Turbo R’s combination of British craftsmanship, powerful performance, and understated design makes it a collector’s classic.
