Description
This is a very specially equipped and unusual Bentley RT.
The Bentley Turbo RT was the last of the Turbo R line and came with a 400bhp version of the 6.75 litre V8 engine.
The Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only, with 252 units produced.
It was essentially a ‘runout special’, an effort to sell off the last SZ-style bodies before the introduction of the Arnage.
Whilst all these cars were coachbuilt, the factory produced a few specially equipped Mulliner versions of the RT which featured a variety of custom options which made the Mulliner cars even more impressive.
This wonderful example has been in its current ownership for over 15 years and has had just two previous owners from new.
Acquired by our vendor with 32,666 recorded miles, this Bentley comes to the market with almost all the available Mulliner options such as wing vents, laser cut grille, big bore exhaust tip, picnic tables, extended wheel spacers and studs, upgraded anti-roll bars, chrome instrument bezels,...
