This represents a great opportunity to get yourself a very rare and desirable Bentley that has led a very cherished life. Supplied new to Mrs P Asoidu by Jack Barclay, Battersea, on 14th September 1987 and finished in Deep Ocean Blue with Parchment upholstery with piped Dark Blue hide. Believed to have been sold new to foreign royalty and kept in their family for a number of years. Evidently well maintained with 15 service stamps from Jack Barclays and many more service invoices from them too. This Turbo R provides a relaxing and salubrious drive with an effortless amount of power from the 6750cc V8 engine whilst transporting you in total comfort as well as being expectantly rare in this colour combination. Complete with lambswool over mats, the interior wear appears to be commensurate with the mileage. Previously owned by renowned and respected motoring journalist, Martin Buckley, who looked after and cherished the Bentley for a number of years enjoying regular use, before being sold to its current owner who put it straight into his exceptional collection. It has had very little use since and has been kept in a very well cared for collection in the perfect dehumidified environment.

This is a jewel of a motorcar, crafted to stand the test of time and this one has done just that. MOT tested until May 2026 and passing without any advisories, this wonderful example is ready for its next custodian to own and enjoy, safe in the knowledge that this has been very much cherished and has had some very well-heeled owners that have enjoyed owning this lovely piece of British motoring royalty.
