Description for Bentley Turbo R 1991
1991 Bentley Turbo R LWB - Long Wheelbase6.75 Liter Turbo-charged V8 with 308hp and 487 lb-ft of Torque
This car has a curb weight of over 5300 pounds and can still do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 140mph.
With "R" standing for Roadholdin, t definitely lives up to its name and handles amazing well for a car of its size and weight.
This car was $200,000 new and the big gorgeous chrome Bentley wheels you see in the pictures were a $10,000 option.
The color combo of black/black with red pinstripe and chrome wheels makes for a very dramatic look. This car has serious presence.
I bought this car on a whim from a gentleman in Texas. I remember seeing the first Turbo R as a teenager at the Autoshow and couldnt resist finally owning one. I've enjoyed owning the car and now its time to free up some cash and space for my next toy.
The original owner stored this car in his hanger next to his private jet. The jet's engines needed a major overhauling and the price tag with parts and labor came close to the value of the Bentley. A deal was struck, he jet engines got overhauled, nd the jet engine mechanic/parts dealer drove home in a beautiful, lmost new, entley. The Bentley stayed in his family most of its life but was later driven/owned by other close family members. The owner before me owned it for about a year and I have owned it 1.5 years.
Overall, he paint looks good and shows well. All I did was put it through a regular car wash before taking the pictures. It does have a number of scratches and one minor area of bubbling (above the rear wheel well) in the paint. A lot of the paint issues can be fixed with touch-up paint or one of those scratch filler products. There is some oxidation on the hood that didnt show up well in the pictures. In general, 'm sure a detailing/buffing would do wonders for this car.
The interior is in excellent condition. I had the car wash wipe down the seats with some spray and vacuum the carpeting, he interior was not detailed. It has beautiful, ich black Connolly leather and a burled walnut dash. The executive-type bucket seats are big, ide, nd comfortable yet hold you firmly in place when throwing the car into a turn. They are heated 10-way power seats with lumbar support and memory.
It comes equipped with a driver-side airbag and ABS brakes.
When I got the car, t was running a little rough. The previous owner told me he thought it just needed a tune-up. The tune-up didn't help and it started running even rougher. I ended up having three different mechanics. . .a Bentley specialist and two European car specialists. . .go through the car completely. All the big and little items were repaired with new and/or rebuilt parts. All the parts were ordered directly from a top Bentley parts supplier in England. $3,000 later, he car is running absolutely beautifully. The Transmission shifts perfectly as well.
Here's what I know to still be wrong with the car. These are issues that I didn't fix either because I didn't care enough to or because they arose after I had already decided to sell the car:
• The climate control system was working perfectly..hot heat and ice cold air. . .and then one day, bout a week ago, t just stopped working. I had the mechanic test the blower and its working fine. The issue is in the climate system control panel that sits in the center console and houses the switches and dials. It might just be a loose wire or the whole unit might need to be replaced. I have found new/reconditioned ones online for $300 so that would be the worst case scenario.
• The passenger-side seat power controls do not work. This might be a wire or fuse issue but I'm really not sure.
• When I bought the car, he odometer/speedometer wasn't working. The previous owner told me to assume an additional 5,000 miles since it stopped working. I've put another 2,500 miles on it since I've owned it. I ordered the cable that goes from the transmission to the speedometer from the same parts supplier in England. I had it installed but it's still not working. I think it just might not have been installed correctly. However, f it's the part, he company in England has agreed to replace it free of charge. I'm happy to facilitate that free replacement for the buyer.
• The driver-side rear window does not work.
• There is a bad buzzing sound coming from the passenger-side rear speaker when you play the radio. It's probably just a simple grounding issue as there is no buzzing when you play a CD and it sounds great.
• The ABS light is on. It was missing a sensor by one of the wheels. I replaced it but the light is still on. I never had the mechanic look at it again but might be a minor fix.
