Entered from the collection of a prominent RREC member
Treated to over £55,000 worth of maintenance work during its lifetime (with £18,820.62 being expended by the vendor)
c.70,000 miles and among the nicest driving Turbo Rs we have encountered
1 of just 83 RHD cars made during the 1992 model year
Introduced at the 1985 Geneva Salon, the Turbo R was the sportiest and best handling Bentley in a generation. Featuring stiffer anti-roll bars, recalibrated dampers and a Panhard Rod to limit lateral rear axle movement, the newcomer was powered by a turbocharged 6750cc V8 allied to automatic transmission. The adoption of fuel injection in 1987 boosted outputs to 328bhp / 478lbft - sufficient to launch the leviathan to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of around 140mph. A more responsive, four-speed automatic gearbox was standardised for the 1992 model year which saw just eighty-three right-hand drive cars being built.
Finished in the handsome combination of Graphite Metallic with Silverstone Grey leather upholstery, chassis 44232 was supplied new to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd of Crewe on 24th January 1992. Retained by its maker for the next ten months (including being factory serviced on 15th June at 6,117 miles), the Turbo R's first private keeper was the director of a Greek shipping company whose London address was 1 Hyde Park Gardens. Changing hands several times thereafter, the Bentley belonged to the Seamer family for twenty years prior to entering the current ownership via our March 2023 IWM Duxford auction (£14,950). Drawn to 'J683 GLA' because of the eighteen stamps up to 63,337 miles contained within its service book from the likes of P&A Wood and Sargeants of Goudhurst, the seller has added another three (with the last bout of maintenance being carried out on April 24th 2025 at 69,555 miles). Spending some £18,820.62 (predominantly with marque specialist Nigel Sandell) having the car recommissioned and fettled, the result is among the nicest driving Turbo Rs we have encountered. A prominent member of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club, the vendor is only parting with the Bentley in an attempt to downsize his collection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until May 2026 and sundry paperwork.
