1996 Bentley Turbo R LWB

Description

Background:Launched in 1995, the new Turbo R was the final and most advanced version of Bentleys high performance saloon. Powered by a turbocharged 6.75litre V8 with Zytec digital engine management, it featured an electronically controlled 4speed automatic gearbox with sport mode, enhancing both acceleration and suspension response.Chassis upgrades included uprated suspension, stiffer antiroll bars and improved dampers, while exterior changes brought 17"" wheels, bodycoloured mirrors and subtle aerodynamic tweaks for greater stability at speed. Inside, Bentley refined the already luxurious cabin with revised seats, a tiltadjustable steering column and enhanced trim.Just 1,366 examples were produced before the model was replaced by the Arnage, making the New Turbo R a rare and desirable modern classic.The Car:First registered in 1996, this Bentley New Turbo R is finished in a timeless and elegant combination of Sherwood Green over Sprucepiped Magnolia hide, complemented by beautifully matched Burr Walnut veneers and door cappings. While the paintwork is showing signs of age in some areas, the interior remains in very good condition and presents well.Power comes from the iconic turbocharged 6.75litre V8, driving the rear wheels through a 4speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats with memory function, cruise control, traction control and an upgraded Pioneer stereo system.The car is accompanied by its original service handbook and a supporting history file, featuring a mixture of Bentley main dealer, specialist and local garage stamps. Within the past 12 months, it has received new suspension hydraulic spheres, four new Michelin tyres and more recently, a new alternator. It is currently MOTd until May 2026, with no advisories noted.Summary:This car combines imposing presence with refined engineering and genuine performance. With its rare specification, elegant colour scheme and recent mechanical attention, it represents a compelling opportunity for the collector or enthusiast seeking a true British luxury saloon one that continues to command attention both on the road and at rest.Location: WorcestershirePhotography: ProfessionalSeller: Private
