AI Listing Summary
This 1998 Bentley Turbo RT, one of only 252 made, is a rare final-edition model with desirable options and a clean MOT. It presents well with some age-related cosmetic wear, offering a chance for improvement.
Offered with no reserve, this collectible Bentley is a great opportunity for enthusiasts to use, enhance, and potentially increase its value.
Condition
6
The car has age-related marks on the paint with a few small bubbles, patina on the driver's seat, and cracking to the wood cappings on the rear passenger doors. While these are cosmetic issues, they are noted as adding character rather than being major defects. The MOT is clean, and it has a good history of maintenance receipts.

Description
We are pleased to offer a rare example of the Bentley Turbo RT, produced for only a brief period from 1997 to 1998 and representing the final and most powerful evolution of Bentley’s long-running Turbo R line.
Serving as a luxurious farewell to the classic SZ-series platform introduced in the 1980s, the Turbo RT received a number of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over its predecessors.
Its 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 was tuned to deliver significantly more power and torque, paired with improved suspension and handling refinements that emphasised both performance and grand-touring comfort.
Distinguished by subtle visual cues - such as its mesh grille and unique badging - the Turbo RT was built in very limited numbers, making it one of the rarest modern Bentleys.
As the last of the true hand-built Crewe turbo saloons, it holds a special place in the brand’s history, bridging classic craftsmanship with the emerging performance focus that would define Bentley in the decades to follow....
