1996 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL R BY MULLINER/PARK WARD - £POA

Under offer. One of if not the lowest mileage example available at just 2,600 miles from new. One of the most desirable colour schemes you could choose. Just two owners from new. Recently reviewed and prepared in our workshops. In excellent condition in every respect, a true time warp example. Complete with books and tools. Chassis No CH53324 was completed in late 1996, finished in one of the most desirable colour combinations of peacock blue with sandstone leather piped blue. Remarkably this example has had only two owners from new and has travelled just 2,600 miles in total. It has recently been thoroughly reviewed and prepared by our workshop team so is in “ready to go” mechanical condition too. An extremely rare example to acquire potentially the lowest mileage example left in the world today. Project 90 was unveiled by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd at the Geneva Motor Show in 1985 to wide acclaim. It was a full size fibre glass mock-up of a future Bentley coupe, code named “Nepal.” Six years later at the same Geneva Motor Show the Bentley Continental R was unveiled to rapturous applause. It was described as the “first new Bentley since 1952” which of course is inaccurate. However, it was the first Bentley not to share body styling with a Rolls-Royce for many decades. The Continental R had two things in common with its long-lost cousin the R Type Continental, those being that the sleek coachwork styled by Mulliner/Park Ward was also designed in a wind tunnel and that it shared the same size 16-inch wheels, and was the first model to do so since the 1950’s. Its stylish lines were an immediate hit and although it was a new concept in appearance, the Continental R had some reassuringly familiar facets. The Bentley Turbo R’s 6.75 litre engine was fitted, and the seating arrangement and dashboard layout were also very similar. The outstanding performance, elegant looks and excellent luggage capacity resulted in a Bentley that was very worthy of being named a Continental. During the twelve-year production run relatively, few cars were made when comparing them to the latest offerings from Bentley, making them in our opinion a possible collector’s item for the future.
