Bentley 1991 Mulsanne S, Performance Luxury Saloon on 2040-cars

Edmeston, New York, United States

 Up for auction is my 1991 Bentley Mulsanne S. Interests have changed and I'm changing some of the vehicles in my collection and have decided to place the Bentley up for sale. The Mulsanne model was manufactured by Bentley Motors Limited  from 1980 to 1992. It is based on the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit/Silver Spur models introduced at the same time and manufactured in the same factory in Crewe. The Mulsanne S series began in 1987 with just 970 produced in total until 1992. The Mulsanne S is a non-turbocharged model which has many of the features and details of the Turbo R (alloy wheels & interior) with a firmed up suspension "tuned for more spirited driving" (as listed on the original price sticker ($144,297.00), included in the sale). This Bentley is finished in black with a Silverstone Grey interior, piped same. The interior woodwork is in excellent condition, the drivers seat shows some sign of wear but there is no cracking or tears in the leather. I understand it can be redyed to freshen its appearance. It has traveled just over 80,000 miles since new, just a little over 6,000 miles a year. I am the second owner of this beautiful motorcar. The sale includes all original paperwork that I have, and of course, the original owners manual/books in their silk-lined leather case. As noted, there are some, what I consider minor, issues with the vehicle and I will describe them as best and accurately as I can. First off, there is some slight delamination/fogging of the rear windscreen (see photo). The gas gauge does not function properly, I suspect it is a faulty ground which I haven't traced. It reads "empty" when full and doesn't start to function until it is 1/2 to 1/4 tank. I have always used the odometer to determine when to fill up. The memory seat/mirrors ECM on occasion will not function properly. I replaced the internal batteries a few years ago so that is not the problem, the units are available after market either on a new or rebuilt basis. I replaced the spheres in the rear suspension approximately 1,000 miles ago and since that time, the "brake pressure" light blinks momentarily when the brakes are applied. There is no issue with either the braking or suspension, I believe another thorough bleeding of the hydraulic system will eliminate the problem. There is a slight leak in the power steering rack/pinion. I just top it up as necessary. The unit is available rebuilt in the after market or you could have it rebuilt locally using genuine Crewe parts. The lambswool overlays should be freshened with a cleaning and redying should you so desire and finally, reports on the vehicle history indicate an accident. I have spoken with the original owner/purchaser and he assured me that the vehicle was never in an accident and believes that this reported event may in fact be the paint work that was done under warranty by the Rolls Royce/Bentley dealer where he purchased the motorcar. I didn't ask him where the paint work was done on the vehicle but I honestly cannot find any evidence of this repair or any other repairs to the coachwork. I have placed the reserve price fairly to allow for the repair costs of these issues. I'm sure you'll be very happy with this fine motorcar if you are the high bidder. The motorcar has a clear NYS title "mileage exempt" (over 10 years titles do not show mileage in NYS).

Bentley bringing Flying Spur V8, upgraded Continental GT Speed to Geneva

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Until the new Falcon sport-ute comes along, Bentley is still a brand that revolves around two model lines: the Mulsanne, which is available essentially in one form, and the Continental family, which is available in many. The Flying B marque has traditionally offered the V8 version in two specifications and the W12 in three, and packaged them into three different bodystyles. With the Geneva Motor Show fast approaching, Bentley is rolling out two more.
First up is the Flying Spur which, despite having dropped the Continental from its name, is still based on the same. Bentley opted to skip the base W12 version when it introduced the new Flying Spur at last year's Geneva show, going straight for the more powerful version that would otherwise wear the Speed moniker. But now it's bringing a V8 version to the Swiss auto expo.
In addition to the W12, the Flying Spur will now be offered with Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. For the time being at least, Crewe is offering it in the base, 500-horsepower spec, and not with the more potent 521-hp from the Continental GT V8 S, but we're still looking at a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph. And that's pretty fast for a four-door sedan, no matter which way you cut it. Power is channeled once again to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, riding on an air suspension. There's a Mulliner Driving Specification package to make it even more derirable, the reduced weight in the nose ought to make it handle better, and with cylinder deactivation, promises to deliver much better fuel economy.

Autoblog's adventures at the Nurburgring 24-Hour race [spoilers]

Wed, May 20 2015

The brand-new Audi R8 LMS, said to share 50 percent of its components with the street-legal R8 shown off at Geneva, has won its very first race at the 2015 Nurburgring 24-Hours. The No. 28 car driven by Christopher Mies, Edward Sandstrom, Nico Muller, and Laurens Vanthoor for the Audi Sport WRT team out of Belgium finished only 40.279 seconds ahead of the No. 25 BMW Sport Team Marc VDS Z4 GT3 in second place, for the smallest winning gap since the race began in 1970. Those two cars traded the lead throughout Sunday morning and were less than a minute away from one another for the last two hours. They were part of a total 35 lead changes during the entire race – a record for the event – and both did 156 laps. Third place went to the No. 44 Falken Tire Porsche 997 GT3, one lap down. The Audis did what they always do: lurked close to the front, stayed out of trouble, then pounced when everyone else faltered. For the opening stretches the BMW Z4 teams owned it, running 1-2-3 for a while, but all of them hit trouble. When morning came and the race got over its yellow-flag fever, the No. 28 Audi was in front and stayed there. It was the third Nurburgring 24-Hour win for Audi in four years, the brand's first win only coming in 2012. Last year's winner, the Phoenix Audi team that set a race record by doing 159 laps, had both of its cars retire. One hit an oil patch about 12 hours in, spun and was hit by another car behind, taking on too much damage to continue. The other retired with engine issues. Other Notes Three cars crashed out of the race while leading, after the rains that weren't supposed to happen, happened about 90 minutes in. The No. 20 Schubert BMW Z4 led the first 50 minutes of the race, hopped a crest at Pflanzgarten, landed in a pool of water, and hit the wall on the 30th lap. Then the No. 30 Frikadelli Porsche, with a driver team that included ex-'Ring Taxi driver Sabine Schmitz, hit the No. 31 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 on the approach to Carrousel and crashed out. Then the No. 1 Phoenix Audi, last year's winning car, took the lead but hit the wall after that oil patch near Pflanzgarten and was out of the race. Aston Martin celebrated a class win in the SP8 category with the No. 49 Vantage GT4 N430. This being the tenth anniversary of the Vantage running the Nurburgring-24, this year's car was painted in the same colors as the racecar from ten years ago.

'Rich Kid of Instagram' victim of supercar arsonists

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

A 19-year-old in the UK is smarting after the possibility that his prolific social media use may be at the heart of four family-owned supercars going up in flames in barely a week. Aleem Iqbal has thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram paying attention to his frequent posts about the high-priced cars he's driving. He's even been featured on the Tumblr page Rich Kids of Instagram. It appears that some people might not be so smitten with him, though.
According to his Twitter profile, Iqbal owns Platinum Executive Travel, a luxury car rental company in the England, and UK newspaper The Telegraph claims the company is also owned by Iqbal's father. On June 6, cameras caught three hooded men setting fire to a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster leased by the company for a wedding. A few days later, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Continental Flying Spur from Platinum also got the torch, and two men were caught on camera setting the blaze. Nobody was hurt in either of the attacks, and the Aventador appeared to be repairable with the fire causing most damage to the passenger seat and dashboard. Police are still investigating both of the crimes.
According to The Telegraph, Iqbal believes that the arsons could have stemmed from jealousy towards him and his family's business. Regardless, setting fire to a bunch of cars that are likely insured isn't a great way to show displeasure.
