• Exceptionally well-presented interior and bodywork
• Twin rear drinks cabinets complete with crystal and cocktail shakers for both rear passengers
• One of Bentley's iconic Turbo R sporting luxury saloons

There are few luxury motor cars that command the presence of a Bentley Turbo R. Introduced in 1985, the Turbo R transformed Bentley's image from stately chauffeur-driven transport into one of the world's finest high-performance luxury saloons. Powered by Bentley's legendary 6.75-litre turbocharged V8, producing immense reserves of effortless torque, the Turbo R combined refined craftsmanship with remarkable performance, becoming the benchmark for sporting luxury throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Offered here is an exceptionally well-preserved 1989 example, finished in an elegant light metallic blue over a beautifully appointed cream hide interior. Having covered 158,953 miles, this Bentley is a wonderful testament to the durability of these hand-built motor cars, presenting in a condition that belies its mileage.

Perhaps most impressive is its ownership history. Having had just five owners from new, the previous two custodians retained the car for approximately 15 years and 10 years respectively. Such lengthy periods of ownership speak volumes about the enjoyment and confidence this Bentley has inspired over the years.

The vendor advises that the Turbo R has been maintained throughout its life by private mechanics employed to look after the owners' personal vehicle collections. As a result, there is limited traditional service history accompanying the car, although it is said to run and drive beautifully, delivering exactly the effortless performance, refinement and composure for which the model is renowned.

Stepping inside reveals one of the finest cabins of any British luxury saloon. The sumptuous cream leather upholstery remains in outstanding condition with only the lightest patina to the driver's seat commensurate with careful use, while the beautifully figured burr walnut veneers retain a deep, rich finish throughout.

The rear passenger compartment is particularly special and offers features rarely seen today. Both rear seat backs house beautifully crafted fold-out picnic tables, whilst each rear passenger also benefits from their own fitted drinks cabinet complete with individual crystal tumblers and cocktail shakers, creating an atmosphere more akin to a private members' club than a motor car. These desirable original luxury appointments remain complete and significantly enhance the car's appeal.

The spacious luggage compartment is equally well presented, retaining its correct plush carpeting and trim, while externally the Bentley presents with excellent bodywork, smart paintwork and bright chrome, all complemented by its original alloy wheels.

Adding further desirability is the registration number '67 BTR', which is included with the sale. A wonderfully appropriate plate, it perfectly references Bentley's iconic 6.7-litre Turbo R, making it arguably the ideal registration for the car.

Offered with an MOT until February 2027, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally honest, highly original Turbo R that has clearly been cherished throughout its life. Combining long-term ownership, outstanding presentation, complete rear passenger luxury appointments and the desirable accompanying registration number, it represents a superb example of one of Crewe's most celebrated modern classics.
