The Brooklands R (the R stands for ‘Roadholding’) you see here benefits from the Turbo R’s chassis, which is just as well because the boffins at Crewe also bolted a light-pressure turbo to the 6.75-litre V8 engine. The result is around 325bhp and 446lb.ft of torque, which is enough, surely.

As a Mulliner, it also benefits from a vast array of cosmetic upgrades. This is number 15 of only one hundred ever built before the Arnage replaced it in 1998 and while we’ll detail the changes Mulliner wrought later, for now it’s enough to say they’re significant and highly sought after. 

Finished in Peacock Blue with Champagne Hide, it’s accrued just 36,000 miles in its life. It’s been in the seller’s hands since 2014 and, as a high-days-and-holidays car, has covered just 179 miles since 2019. Which means it’s just gathering dust now and really deserves to be used more, hence this listing.
