A pre-intercooler 1997 Turbo model, this Bentley has that majestic aura that only a Bentley or Rolls-Royce can command. Finished in Peacock Mica paint with beautifully contrasting Parchment leather interior and carpets with Royal Blue piping, the car is recorded in the history file as first supplied through Dutton-Forshaw of Preston. A period Motorola telephone is fitted in the centre console, illustrating its sophisticated first owners' tastes and stature. With more than £12,500 in invoices for consistent and painstaking maintenance work, from marque experts Broughtons, and Specialist Cars of Exeter, detailed in the car's history from 2009 to 2016, all under the custodianship of one owner, based in Devon. These works include cutting out and replacing any corrosion and repainting minor areas, and undersealing, the all-important overhaul of the braking and hydraulic systems, replacing suspension bushes and other components as necessary, as well as routine engine and transmission maintenance and tuning. Its usage on the gentle roads of the West country is evident in its all-round excellent order and this Bentley will reward its new owner with that indefinable feeling of well-being and quality, whilst reserving a very spirited turn of speed from its 6.75-litre turbocharged power plant.
