1997 Bentley Turbo R 1 of 367, warranted 41,000 miles

United Kingdom • 17 Jun 2026 • Lot 12

Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1997 Bentley Turbo R boasts a warranted low mileage of 41,000 miles and a striking Peacock Blue exterior with Parchment leather. As one of the last 'old school' Bentleys produced before the VW acquisition, it represents a significant piece of automotive history.

While the car is running and driving, it needs mechanical attention including a new rear spring, windscreen washer repair, and potential battery replacement for the digital display. Its recent MOT expiry and being sold from a deceased estate suggest a need for thorough inspection and potential reconditioning.

Heavily facelifted the previous season, the ’97-MY cars gained larger diameter front disc brakes and Electronic Traction Assistance System to better cope with their prodigious outputs (385bhp/569lbft) and performance (0-60mph: 6.3 seconds / 155mph).

Finished in the decidedly elegant combination of Peacock Blue metallic with Parchment leather upholstery, chassis CH60193 was supplied new by HR Owen of South Kensington on May 9 th 1997.

Initially road registered as ‘P9 ADY’ (the first of many personalised number plates), the Bentley was returned to the same dealership by its first owner for servicing at 1,544, 2,679, 3,422, 3,43...
