With Bosch fuel-injection increasing torque levels, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars, and superior dampers, the Bentley Turbo was surprisingly nimble for a car of its size and fitted with a 6750cc V8 capable of 135mph it was a real performer in a straight line too. Rave reviews in the press helped dealers move the Turbo R in relatively substantial numbers - one report by Motor Trend described it as “The first Bentley in decades deserving of that famous name”. The stylish lines of these nineties Bentleys look best in subtle colours, and the Graphite Grey paintwork with twin light grey coach-lines gives this substantial saloon a wonderfully low and sleek look. As is traditional with a car which would have cost £110,000 new, the interior is classically stylish with parchment hide, walnut veneer, parchment hide armrests, lambswool rugs, and Slate seat piping. Supplied new by the SMAC Group Plc of Thorpe Bay, Essex, it has a full service history with 14 stamps in the book and has recently been treated to an extensive mechanical refresh by renowned marque specialist Clark and Carter of Braintree. It has only covered 67,193 miles from new and has a full MOT. The extensive work carried out in November 2018 included replacing the engine drive belts, air conditioning compressor, full engine service, front discs and pads, rear hydraulic gas springs and sundry items as itemised in the history file. It comes complete with its tool kit, triangle, jack, spare wheel, two sets of keys, handbook and service records. Unrivalled as a long-distance cruiser this sporting Blower Bentley, in this sophisticated colour combination, offers remarkable value.
