A beautiful example of the first true Bentley made since W.O. Bentley was still running the company. Most Bentleys up to this point were re-badged Shadows and Spirits. It was in the early eighties that Rolls Royce (at that time the parent company of Bentley) was hoping to create something truly unique with the Turbo R. They were trying to go back to Bentleys roots and create a sporty, and most importantly powerful, autobahn cruiser. A car that could go from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds with the torque to pull down a building and the power to get to 155MPH. On top of that they wanted a car that could handle in the corners. Above all, they wanted a car that would be reliable. As Rolls Royce and Bentleys to that point were anything but.
In their efforts Rolls Royce fitted stiffer suspension, a Garret Turbo, Mercedes mechanical fuel injection, and Hydraulic suspension. Most of the wiring and electricals were sourced from Bosch and the Hydraulics were an improvement on the Citroen design.
This car rides soft over bumps and stiffens up in the corners. It is the first iteration of dynamic suspension like many cars boast about today. However, this car is of the old school, hand built with attention to the finest detail and cost being no object. The most expensive car in the world in 1989.
This particular car has been fully serviced. With all new suspension accumulators, steering rack, fluid pumps for the hydraulics, brake pads and rotors, rear calipers, fuel injectors, all fluids and filters as well as brand new AVON Turbo Speed tires fitted last fall. This car was not mistreated or abused as so many are and was serviced at the smallest sign of issue. There are no leaks of anything ever. The suspension stays up for MONTHS not hours or minutes like most.
There is absolutely nothing to do but turn the key and go.

“In regards to the incident in 2014 on the carfax. The front spoiler was damaged by a curb and was covered by insurance and was replaced with a new unit from the Bentley Dealer. It was professionally matched to the car and installed. There was no accident, and it did not happen in California, it happened in Minnesota where the car is located. The ownership history is as follows - Original owner, Indiana - 2nd owner, California - 3rd owner, Had 2 homes; one in California and one in Washington and the car went back and forth over the years. As you can see there was no new title issued during that time, just registrations - Then a dealer bought the car from the estate and I bought it from them in Arkansas. I am the 4th owner.”
