1991 Bentley Turbo R LWB - Only 130k Orig Miles - Auto Trans - 6.7L V8 When W.O. Bentley reluctantly sold his company to Rolls Royce in 1931, he never dreamed that his company would produce such a stunning piece of workmanship. When it debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in 1985, the Turbo R garnered tons of attention for its performance. Critics praised the car as the first Bentley to evoke its Le Mans winning pedigree. Although official figures weren't provided by Rolls, its 6.75 liter V8 output 297 hp with 487 ft-lb of torque for a top speed of 137 mph, and 0-60 in 6.7 seconds - near supercar acceleration for is time. Along with the sensation of a cloud-like ride, thanks to its Girling hydraulic self-leveling system, the Turbo R was as plush as possible. Its meticulously crafted interior featured burr walnut veneer panels, highest quality full hide leather, Wilton carpets, and luxurious sheepskin rugs handcrafted in Manchester for barefoot passengers. Produced through 1994, the Turbo R went on to become one of Bentley's best selling models of all time. There was a mere production of only 7,230 between 1985 - 1997 and only 1211 made like this one with the Long Wheel Base. This particular unit has been well maintained and garaged most of its life. It was originally purchased in Illinois, and quickly made it's way to Santa Anna, Ca where it spent most of its life until now, where you have the opportunity to own it. Although a great example of a Bentley Turbo R, it is not without it's flaws. It will require a full tune up (all genuine Bentley parts will be provided to complete this), repair of a small oil leak (possible oil pressure regulator), recharge the air conditioning unit, sending unit for the speedo/odometer, and repair of minor exterior blemishes if so desired.
