This one-off Bentley Turbo RT was commissioned by Bentley Motors for the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, the car was sent to Mulliner for a huge list of special features to be fitted to showcase Bentley’s new and most powerful 4 door saloon, the Turbo RT having some 400 BHP and 590 lb f torque. These special features included: custom order Wildberry hide with ‘Weybridge’ style sports seats, special order highly figured dark Burr Walnut interior woodwork featuring wrapover waistrails, veneered door panels and steering wheel, veneered picnic tables and cocktail requisites. Electrically adjustable and heated rear seats, champagne Fridge, television and DVD System, umbrellas in the boot and video storage compartment, turbo boost gauge on dashboard, chrome instrument bezels, two tone gear lever and steering wheel in Maroon and Black and drilled alloy pedals. The coachwork is finished in Masons Black which is complimented by Maroon fine lines, Mulliner wing vents, 5 spoke 17” alloy wheels, chrome radiator shell with mesh grille and flying B mascot. The original VHS system is supplied with the car but has been now professionally upgraded to a DVD system which is fully working. The car is offered with an extensive history file which includes two stamped service books, invoices for works carried out, including the replacement of the cylinder head gaskets, copies of the factory build sheets which detail the specification of this unique example and past MOT test certificates. Also present in the file are two original copies of Autocar magazine from 1997 both with multipage page features of this very car when it was used as the Bentley press car and registered with Bentley factory demonstrator registration ‘1800 TU’. Having covered 111,000 miles, this beautiful example has been maintained to an extremely high standard throughout its life by main agents and specialists, this is evident both in the appearance of the car and the way it performs on the road which is truly exceptional. This extremely rare and highly desirable example would warrant any Bentley enthusiast collection, a real piece of Bentley history being the motor show car for the last true Bentley model made.
