Lot details Registration No: L100AAR Chassis No: SCBZE02C9RCH54127 Mot Expiry: Nov 2013
The renaissance of the Bentley brand started with the 1980 Mulsanne. It was named after the famous Le Mans straight - the scene of five classic Bentley victories in the vintage years. In 1992, the Mulsanne (and Bentley Eight) were replaced by the Brooklands that, continuing the motorsport theme, took its title from the awesome British circuit which also witnessed many a Bentley triumph. The newcomer was intended as a more affordable alternative to the mighty Turbo R, and featured basically the same styling, sporting underpinnings and well-proven 6.75-litre V8 engine; the obvious difference being that it was initially normally aspirated. The exterior featured Bentley's classic waterfall radiator grille, dual headlights and chromed 'B' pillars.
Finished in Black with Grey leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to date from 1993 and to have covered just 14,800 miles from new. The vendor describes the bodywork and paintwork as "good, A1", the V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission as "good" and notes that the otherwise seemingly immaculate interior trim is displaying a little "wear on the driver's seat piping". 'L100 AAR' comes complete with a full service record comprising some 15 stamps (the last of which dates from October 2011), well-populated chrome badge bar and an MOT lasting until November 2013.
