Description
It was imported to Sweden from the UK in 1986 and has had just five owners since, each with long periods of ownership.
Under the bonnet sits a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing around 190+ hp, paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission.
The current owner, who spent time living in the UK, developed a love for classic Bentleys and didn’t mind the right-hand drive layout — especially with the ease of an automatic gearbox. He purchased the car in solid condition but saw potential for improvement. The car was fully stripped down, including removal of the windows, and repainted in elegant Oxford Blue. New window seals were installed, and the front seats, which had cracked leather, were reupholstered in matching blue leather. The rest of the interior was already in good condition. The electric seats were also checked and are now fully functional.
A recent service invoice totaling 49,000 SEK covered extensive work, including front suspension dampers, brake system review with new brake lines, exhaust inspection and refitting, new ball joints, and a general service. In total, over 200,000 SEK has been invested into the car.
The result is a well-sorted, nice-driving Bentley in good running condition. It recently completed a 20-kilometer test drive without issue — offering excellent value for the next owner.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily with a smooth, quiet engine and no ticking sounds.
The gearbox shifts cleanly, the brakes are solid, and it drives confidently. The owner uses it regularly during the summer, and it's fitted with good wheels and tires. The car is inspection-exempt.
All electric windows work, except the left rear, which likely just needs the switch cleaned. The electric seats function properly, and the air conditioning works as it should. -
Interior condition
Interior is clean and well-kept, featuring nicely reupholstered front leather seats and new rear passenger footrests. The wooden dashboard is tidy, with well-preserved original gauges. The headliner and carpets are in good condition throughout. Only the wooden door trim would benefit from a fresh coat of varnish. It’s also fitted with a modern retro-style Bluetooth radio and has charming flip-down rear passenger trays.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is straight and clean, showing no signs of damage or corrosion.
Underbody is solid, with only light surface rust on a few components—nothing of concern. The paintwork is bright, tidy, and leaves a strong impression. Chrome and trim are original and in overall good condition, with new clips fitted throughout. Some pitting and oxidation are present on the bumpers and one rear door handle (see photos). -
General condition
This car is much rarer than a Rolls-Royce, yet it costs about the same as a VW Beetle or Volvo Amazon. It's incredible how much style, quality, and craftsmanship you get for the money — and this one is ready to drive home.
