Bentley Turbo R 1986

Chassis: SCBZS0T05HCH20049

“This is one of the first fuel-injected Bentley Turbo R models to be produced, registered in October 1986. Reputedly starting life as a main dealer demonstrator with H.R Owen, and sporting the registration number ‘HRO 1’, the car was well specified with Masons Black coachwork and contrasting St.James’ Red hide interior, in order to herald the arrival of this then, important addition to the Bentley range. However, that was all some 36 years ago and time has taken its toll. Passing through the hands of over a dozen owners, it has been both used and abused in equal measure and while initially appearing quite sound, further investigation reveals the usual signs of corrosion and mechanical problems. Restoration would prove uneconomical so unfortunately, it will be heading to our recycling department.”
