1997 Bentley Turbo R LWB

Highlights

• Garaged for approximately 10 years
• Benefiting from recent mechanical attention
• MOT valid until March 2027

The Appeal

When it hit the market in the mid-80s, the Turbo R offered a more muscular identity for the luxury marque. The straight-nosed profile and impressive road-holding made for a Bentley that was intended as a real driver's car, and it utterly reinvigorated the marque's reputation.

This 1997 example has covered 43,000 miles and has been garaged for approximately the last 10 years. Recent mechanical work has been carried out, and we understand that it's a fine runner, accompanied by an MOT until March 2027.
