For sale is this 1996 Bentley Turbo R, finished in elegant black with red pinstriping and a beautifully contrasting cream leather interior. The paintwork and interior are both in excellent condition, giving the car the stately presence expected of a hand-built Bentley. Powered by Bentley’s renowned 6.75-litre turbocharged V8, the Turbo R blends traditional British luxury with effortless performance and a more driver-focused chassis. Having travelled approximately 109,000 km, it is equipped with central locking, cruise control, front and rear power windows, air conditioning and power steering. Its presentation has also seen it selected for use in a recent menswear advertisement.
The car has previously been entrusted to Bentley specialist McDermott’s Workshop, now in Brunswick and formerly in Footscray, for specialist attention. Recent work includes replacement of the alternator and the relevant seals and tubing following a fuel leak, which has now been rectified. Invoices for completed work are available. For transparency, the car is supplied with a single key and occasionally displays intermittent airbag and ABS warning lights; these are not present most of the time but do appear intermittently. This is a regrettable sale prompted only by limited space and a lack of use, and presents an appealing opportunity to own a distinctive and well-presented example of Bentley’s celebrated sporting saloon.
