MotoeXotica is pleased to announce our latest addition; a stunning 1989 Bentley Turbo R. Built under the ownership of Rolls-Royce, the Turbo R is one of the few modern Bentleys to emulate the sporting heritage that W.O. Bentley built his company on. Historically, Bentley has a well-established motorsport heritage, with five wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1924 to 1930. Despite the racing heritage, modern Bentleys are known for their luxury and build quality, not for being a gentleman’s race car. In 1985 Bentley wanted to change the public perception of the brand; enter the Turbo R. Motor Trend concluded that this is “the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name” after their initial review. The Turbo R we are presenting is a one owner car with only 57,798 actual miles originally purchased on July 19th, 1989 for $145,000. Painted in a handsome black this Bentley is pure class. Overall the paint is in excellent condition and shows extremely well, however there are some minor imperfections found on the deck lid and fender. Inside the cabin the leather and interior trim are in fantastic condition, almost no imperfections can be found. The previous owner has kept all of the service sheets from Jaguar-Volvo of Oklahoma City with the parts and prices of all completed services indicated on the receipts. Many thousand’s has been spent on this Bentley to keep it in ideal driving condition. For instance one record shows a brakes and air conditioning service in 2011 for $10,622, and the power steering rack was replaced for a total of $3,688. This Bentley Turbo R has been maintained and cared for by a careful and diligent owner. Interior: Tan leather interior, in pristine condition Grey carpet with tan leather trim Walnut trim & dashboard Cashmere floor mats Tri-spoke “sport” steering wheel Power & heated front seats with memory Power rear seats Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth Rear passenger vanity mirrors Working air conditioner “Town & County” horns Exterior: Red winged “flying B” badges Turbo R badges Front bumper splitter Cast aluminum 15” wheels BF Goodrich 235/70VR15 tires High-pressure headlight washer Mechanical: 6.8L Turbocharged V8 Garrett T04B Turbocharger Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection Automatic transmission Power Anti-lock brakes Power steering True to Bentley, every aspect of this car was overbuilt from the driveline to the door hinges; these cars are built to last. Until recently the Turbo R was overlooked by many enthusiasts, making this model one of the best values in the Bentley line-up. Unfortunately the Turbo R secret is no longer and prices have been steadily increasing. This is your chance to own a future collector car before prices climb! http://www.facebook.com/stlclassiccars http://www.instagram.com/motoexotica http://www.twitter.com/motoexotica636
