Introduced for the 1995 model year, the 'new' Bentley Turbo R was little changed outwardly, however, its turbocharged 6750cc V8 engine employed a more sophisticated Zytek EMS3 management system. Developing 385bhp and 553lbft of torque, the unit was somewhat tamed by the adoption of ETAS (Electronic Traction Assistance System) from 1996. Available from autumn 1997 onwards, the 1998 model-year RT borrowed various mechanical features from its Continental T sibling and could thus boast 400bhp and a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. Visually distinguished by a mesh grille and mesh inserts to its colour-coded bumpers, the turbocharged Bentley could accelerate from 0-60mph in six seconds and attain 155mph flat out. The RT models were fitted with an active ride suspension system, 'easy-entry' tilt steering wheel, and galvanised zinc coating to the underside. Only 252 RT's were produced between 1997 & 1998.

With just 2 owners and 94,500 miles from new, this Bentley RT benefits from a large collection of invoices and a wealth of old MOTs paperwork. Over the years this RT has been maintained by Specialist Cars of Exeter. Amongst the work carried out, in November 2020 the RT was provided with an oil change. Within the history file, there is even some original order correspondence and it is accompanied by its original service book with an impressive 24 entries along with the Bentley handbook.
