Beschreibung:

From its motor car production in 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The ""Continental"" designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The ""R"" was meant to recall the R Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. Presented here is one of just 46 examples produced by Mulliner and introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999. This series boasts the most powerful engine after the Continental T and has a power output of 420bhp and a maximum torque of 650 ft-lb. The car could be pushed to a staggering top speed of some 170 mph. This beautiful two door coupé example from March 1999 is finished in Brewster Green and has a parchment hide interior piped in green with a Spruce Green leather finished walnut dashboard. Immaculate Connifer carpets and lambswool over-rugs complete the luxurious interior. With only two owners from new, this vehicle is the former property of the late Peter Wheeler owner and chairman of TVR. The attention and care that this car enjoyed under his ownership is unsurpassed. Before being offered for sale, this car has undergone a major C service to include all hydraulics and resulting in replacement front springs at a combined cost reaching more than seven thousand pounds. Accordingly, this car is offered with a genuine 46,500 miles as documented in the full service history as well as 12 months MOT test certificate. This is an outstanding example of a much appreciated model.
