Presented in original colour of Balmoral Green Extensive service history Meticulously cared for in recent years Rare example of this luxurious British convertible. Supplied new by Broughtons of Cheltenham in January 1990, this Bentley Continental Convertible has wanted for nothing in recent years and is offered for sale in its original colour combination of Balmoral Green with St James Red interior. After being acquired by its previous owner in July 2018, the Bentley was taken to marque specialist PT Classics in Maldon, Essex. There it was thoroughly tested and inspected, and the subsequent work is detailed in the car’s history file. A compression test was carried out on the V8 engine, the fuel injectors were pressure-tested and cleaned, and a bore-scope examination was carried out. It was discovered that the incorrect valve-stem seals had been fitted, so a top-end rebuild was completed. New brake pads and flexi-hoses were fitted all round, as well as rear brake discs, while the front subframe mounts were also replaced. Inside, the seatbelts were replaced and the door cappings were stripped and re-lacquered; all of the interior wood was polished at the same time. Two years later, the spheres for the rear suspension’s self-levelling system were replaced, the air-conditioning system was re-gassed, and the front seats were Connolised. In total, more than £8000 was spent in order to ensure that this Continental drives exactly as Bentley intended when it originally left the factory, and more recent work has included the replacement of the nearside-rear wheel bearing – a job that was carried out by HR Owen in Cheltenham. The Bentley has been used only sparingly during its current ownership and is still beautifully presented throughout. From the commanding view down its long bonnet to its sumptuous front seats and thick carpets, there can be few more luxurious ways in which to enjoy top-down summer motoring.
