1993 Bentley Continental R

This Bentley Continental R is a luxurious and elegantly proportioned grand tourer, benefiting from a desirable specification. It is powered by a turbocharged 6.75-litre V8, delivering around 268kW to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer displays 79,613 kilometres, though this is not warranted. This example was originally registered in Japan and is now offered for sale in Australia. Build year: 1993 This Continental R is finished in blue over a cream and blue leather-trimmed cabin featuring burr walnut inlays as well as blue seat piping and carpets. It rides on a set of polished 18-inch five-spoke wheels, fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Equipment includes cruise control, air conditioning, ‘Town and Country’ horns, electric windows, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with four-position memory, an automatically dimming rear-view mirror, and an Eclipse stereo. Accompanying the owner’s manual, Japanese service history, and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The seller notes that the vehicle has received prior paintwork. Service history to be confirmed by paperwork. At its launch, the Continental R was the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever built, and the world’s most expensive production car. This is an eye-catching example of the breed, presented in a bold shade of blue and benefitting from a well-appointed and luxuriously trimmed interior. Praised by the seller for its rarity and road presence, it would now make a fine long-distance touring companion or weekend steer for many more enjoyable kilometres.
