Introduced for the 1995 model year, the "New" Bentley Turbo R (like its "New" Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and "New" Rolls-Royce Silver Spur stablemates) was little changed in outward appearance. Still based around the familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all round independent suspension (self-levelling at the rear), ventilated ABS disc brakes and power assisted steering, its turbocharged 6750cc V8 engine employed a more sophisticated Zytek EMS3 management system. Quoted as developing some 385bhp and 553lbft of torque, this fearsome unit was tamed somewhat with the adoption of ETAS (Electronic Traction Assistance System) in 1996. Reputedly capable of a towering 155mph thanks to advances in brake and tyre technology, the "New" Turbo R retained its immediate predecessor's standard fit four-speed automatic transmission (itself upgraded from three speeds in 1992). Further benefiting from a revised interior including improved memory seats, just 823 "New" Turbo RLs are thought to have been made before production ceased in 1997.
Finished in Sherwood Green with Parchment leather upholstery, this particular long wheelbase example is described by the vendor as being in mint condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Reported to possess a "full service history" that supports its recorded mileage of 50,934, it is further said to have had just four previous owners from new. Last serviced in May 2005, it has apparently seen little use "since mid-July". A car of great presence, this "superb" Bentley is offered for sale with history file, MOT certificate valid until 13th February 2006 and road tax current until April 2006.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
