Bentley Continental R, 1996, LHD. Finished in British Racing Green with a racy Green leather interior with Red piping and Green lambswoolen overrugs. The interior is very nice indeed with impeccable woodwork and chrome. This particularly nice low-mileage Continental R is offered for a customer of ours. Well maintained and almost flawless paint work make for a beautiful GT. At the 1984 Geneva Motor Show "Project 90" had been exhibited by Rolls-Royce and this was a really impressive full size mock-up of a future Bentley coupe. Thus the manufacturer had gone to previously unheard of expenses in market research. Reactions had been so enthusiastic that within five years the company had developed a completely new coupe and this was unveiled to the public as the Bentley Continental R at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 1991. Based on the Bentley Turbo R floorpan an aerodynamically shaped 2 + 2 coupe body had been styled. There is a taboo in the aeronautical industry against introducing new aircraft with new engines, and this was followed by Rolls-Royce in the case of the new Continental R. The well-proven turbocharged engine from the Bentley Turbo R had been chosen to power what one reporter termed as a sort of " Crewes Missile". To keep running costs to a minimum the car has been fitted with a fully functioning Stinger radar detector system and a fixed carkit. Please contact us for all details or an exiting testdrive in this old-school GT.
