The 1990s Bentley Continental R, a sublime GT with powerful 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 engine, was a landmark car for Bentley. Such a compelling combination of old-fashioned Bentley charm, handsome lines and thunderous performance is more than enough to achieve iconic status.

When the Continental was launched in 1991, it was the first Bentley since the mid-1960s to feature a fully customized body by Mulliner. Since the 1960s, Bentleys were usually little more than Rolls-Royces with a different badge.

The Continental R, designed by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, took the Turbo R base but dressed it in a two-door coupe body that had no Rolls-Royce equivalent. In this way, Bentley began to rebuild its own identity.

The result was the fastest, most powerful Bentley of its time and the most expensive production car in the world at its introduction.

We are pleased to offer this beautiful Bentley Continental R, delivered on March 26, 1993 by Auto Becker GmbH in Germany.

It is beautifully finished in Dark Oyster (dark gray) with a Spruce (dark green) interior.

Despite its size, it remains perfectly graceful thanks to the Bentley-powered 6.75-liter turbo V8 and advanced four-speed transmission – the perfect Grand Tourer. The interior is a very comfortable place to spend time. There is more than enough room in the front and rear seat occupants can enjoy unparalleled luxury.

On the road, the stately English GT performs effortlessly.

This rare 1993 model features the Bentley “Green Badge” to commemorate Bentley’s diamond jubilee as part of Rolls Royce (1933 – 1993), and is one of only 209 link-driven examples produced that year.

In germany the car has had 3 owners, after which the car came to Belgium in 2000. The last belgian owner registered the car in 2006, but for the last few years the car was stationary. Therefore, we gave the car a complete overhaul and did the necessary maintenance work to get it back in top shape. The Bentley was always done by Bentley/Rolls Royce dealers.

The car comes with its original service booklet.

The power and grace of the modern Continental GT, combined with the unmistakable design of the 1990s, make this Bentley Continental R perfect for the astute driver and collector alike.
