The Continental R was the pinnacle of Bentley's engineering, known for being the fastest, most luxurious, and most powerful car of its time. At its launch, it held the title of the most expensive production car in the world listed from £187,000. Introduced in 1991, the Continental R featured the impressive 6.75 L turbocharged V8 engine from the Turbo R, paired with a new 4-speed automatic transmission. It boasted self-levelling hydraulic suspension and ventilated disc brakes at the front, equipped with twin callipers for a smooth ride and exceptional stopping power. By the 1996 model year, the Continental R received several factory enhancements, marking some of the most notable updates since its debut. These improvements led to better throttle response and fuel efficiency, along with a digitally controlled turbo over-boost, resulting in increased engine power. This particular Continental R, first registered in February 1996, showcases a refined solid Blue exterior and is fitted with 17-inch Azure wheels. Inside, the Continental R exudes elegance, adorned with parchment leather and walnut trim. The meticulous attention to detail in the headliner and the luxurious seating make for a truly comfortable driving experience. Due to its hand-built nature, only 544 right-hand drive versions of the Continental R were produced out of a total of 1,292 between 1992 and 2001, surpassing Crewe’s production capabilities. In 2022, we sold this car to a large private collection, which we manage. It has travelled less than 1,000 miles and has been regularly started while in our storage facility. Now, it’s time for this Continental to find a new home as we welcome a new addition to the collection. The sale will come with a complete service and MOT. |
