"Timeless classic luxury that is as prominent then as it is now. A worthy representative of a car from this era in better everyday condition."

Description

The Continental R was Bentley's first proprietary model in many years. It became an extraordinary special edition. With a launch price in 1991 of a whopping £187,000 (equivalent to 2.7 million in Sweden), it was among the last Bentley cars hand-built in the traditional manner and at a leisurely pace - one cannot rush when building the world's finest car. A total of 1,577 units were produced during the twelve years of production.

This car was imported to Sweden in 2008 and was part of a collection for several years. The current owner purchased it from there and registered the car in 2023. The history in England has not been completely clarified, but it seems to have mostly had an owner who used the car. According to the service documents, almost all miles on the car were covered until 2005. Today, it has approximately 210 000 km on the odometer.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The powerful turbocharged V8 combined with GM's 4L80E automatic transmission functions excellently. However, the owner finds it difficult to engage Drive when the gearbox is cold and idling. The list of equipment is extensive, with a multitude of features, and no anomalies have been discovered. Rear shock absorbers were recently replaced.

  • Interior condition:

    High-quality blue leather dominates, complemented by light wood accents. The seats show signs of age and use, but no significant damage is present. The leather still feels soft and supple. The carpets are in good condition, as is the wood, although some minor cracking in the lacquer can be seen on certain details. In the center console compartment, there is a CD changer (standard) and an additional compartment that originally housed a phone. Some modifications have been made; the tracks for the driver's seat have been extended to provide better legroom, and the belt anchors have been temporarily extended to lower the belt slightly.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car is finished in Cobalt Blue metallic, overall in good condition with some minor scratches and stone chips. The bumpers and headlight inserts have likely been repainted at some point. Honeycomb grille and the small ventilation grilles near the front turn signals are additional features. The wheels are in good condition with minor surface wear, and new tires have been fitted. One center cap on a wheel is missing and has been replaced with a cover plate.

  • General condition:

    Despite its age and mileage, this car is in good condition. These cars were built with great care and ample margins for durability.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
