experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures
posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest
and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and
especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of
the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative
of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has
been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering
of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken
of the car, in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, in order for our
prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car
advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust
you will agree.
West
Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely stunning and
exceptional example of this gorgeous 1990
Bentley Turbo R with only 75K original miles and in the striking color
combination of 'Dark Oyster Metallic' factory color paint and 'Mushroom' Connolly
hides!
This beautiful example has a highly desirable color combination of original factory 'Dark Oyster Metallic' color
exterior paint with painted pin stripes, original Bentley alloy wheels and with gorgeous 'Mushroom' Connolly
leather hides and carpeting which is in virtually
flawless condition throughout. The original color paint reflects like
glass with only very minor imperfections, if any only noticeable upon very close inspection. All the
chrome work including the front grille and bumpers is absolutely
outstanding. The leather seats and dashboard show virtually
no signs of any wear whatsoever. Obviously always garaged with no
signs of any accident history and owned by only very careful and meticulous
drivers since new - never abused!
The car drives exactly
like a well maintained and serviced Bentley Turbo R should and must be
driven to be fully appreciated and seen to be believed! The engine is
extremely strong with no oil leaks, the transmission is very smooth with
Rolls Royce/Bentley's legendary almost imperceptible shift and the
engine temperature always remains cool. Turn-key ready, this particular
model drives exactly as it must have when it left the showroom floor
almost twenty years ago, you could not possible tell the difference!
Bentley's history is associated with luxury and grace but another
attribute is of course high performance. Until 1982, the company, along
with Rolls Royce, had been more concerned with building the best car
money could buy .... and then it turbo-charged the Mulsanne. The car was
a phenomenal performer for such a heavyweight and the Turbo R (R standing for Roadholding) continued
that tradition with a completely reworked chassis with upgraded
steering and brakes and was aimed at the owner who preferred to drive
themselves rather then be driven! To make such a large luxurious and
heavy car go so fast (Bentley and Rolls Royce traditionally never
published official figures but the output was conservatively estimated
at 0-60 in 6.7 seconds with a top speed in excess of 170 mph) a V8 with a
single in block cam and two overhead valves per cylinder displacing
close to 427ci (7 liters) and breathed by a Garret turbo gave the Turbo R
the pace of a low-slung super-car! This gave the car dramatic
acceleration and earned it a following amongst enthusiastic and
obviously well-heeled (original cost of this car was over $195K)
driver's! Unrestricted versions, with low profile tires have been tested
at speeds in excess of 170 mph proving the turbo-charger turned the
already potent engine into a powerhouse! Stiff suspension, front and
rear anti-roll bars and electronically (computer) controlled variable
rate self-leveling shocks for any driving condition kept the ride smooth
despite the beefed up suspension and the road handling was absolutely
world class exceptional too! Big 18" rims went against tradition but run
on 265/45 ZR tires in the turbo R's sporting theme. This should prove
the most collectible of it's generation being the quickest and most
distinctive Bentley since the S-Type Continental with the Turbo R having
the edge in esteem thanks to it's more capable handling. The renown 'Motor Trend' called the Turbo R "the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name," in their review of the car on its introduction to the United States in 1989, an extremely high compliment indeed!
You will surely look long and hard to find a finer example of this low 75K miles 1990 Bentley Turbo R! For those who are unfamiliar, Rolls
Royce and Bentley no longer exist as they had for over one hundred years
- this is one of the last in the original line of cars built in the
legendary Rolls Royce/Bentley factory in Crewe, England with a quality
and craftsmanship that far surpasses that of today's mass produced
models with many BMW parts - this is a rare opportunity to own a piece
of automobile history, from a time when Rolls Royce and Bentley were
truly building the world's finest motor cars.
This
increasingly collectible model is becoming harder to find in such
exemplary condition, with only very limited numbers ever built, this
must certainly be one of the finest examples available anywhere - so bid
with confidence, this will no doubt prove a fabulous investment for the
Rolls Royce or Bentley enthusiast or collector or simply a great daily
driver or weekend toy for the discerning luxury classic car owner!
