Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Bentley Turbo RT, one of only 252 built, presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of British luxury. While the exterior shows its age with some paint imperfections, the interior boasts a cocktail cabinet and picnic tables, offering a 'Champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget,' but requires some reconditioning.
Condition

The car has some cosmetic issues. The area around the driver’s door and the bonnet are peppered with small marks. There are some scratches on the roof, plus pitting to the door handles. There are also bubbles on the lower nearside corner of the rear screen, the boot lid, around the door handles and locks, and along the tops of the doors, generally the paintwork around the car is generally quite poor. The speedo also does not operate correctly.

The ‘RT’ you see here is one of the last-of-the-line runout models.
Boasting 400bhp courtesy of a Garrett AiResearch T04 turbocharger and a Zytek EMS3 engine management system, it can be easily distinguished from lesser (and cheaper) models by its different wheels, mesh radiator grille, and colour-coded bumpers with mesh inserts.
Only offered between 1997 and 1998, just 252 cars were bult to this specification, which is hardly a surprise given the first owner would have had to write a cheque for more than £135,000 (the equivalent of £270,000 today) – and that was AFTER being given a 12% discount.
Supplied by HR Owens and further tweaked by Mulliner Park Ward, ‘R400 NGF’ is finished in Black Sapphire with silver pinstriping and the optional Light Grey hide interior – not that the extra cost items ended there because it’s also got MPW five-spoke chrome wheels, front wing vents, and a cocktail cabinet.
