Description

In 1995, the Bentley Turbo S was announced as a special edition of the Bentley Turbo R with production envisaged at fewer than 100 cars to keep sales up before the introduction of the Bentley Arnage and distributed across selected customers only. From Bentley records, there were 29 right hand drive and 31 left hand drive cars built. The engine used Bosch Motronic fuel injection and digital ignition derived from Formula 1 technology which, together with a larger exhaust-driven Garrett AirResearch turbocharger with intercooler gave an output of over 400bhp. The same engine was fitted to twelve Bentley Continental S, and three to special build Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit S'.

First registered on 14th September 1994 by Rolls-Royce Motors, this was the first of only 60 Bentley Turbo S cars produced, and the only Turbo S produced with a long wheelbase body. The reason for this is entirely accidental; the instruction to the production line was to select a standard car and update it to the new Turbo S specification, but nobody specified it had to be a short wheelbase example, and the wrong car was picked. It was the then-Managing Director of Jack Barclay who noticed the mistake, but only once the car had already been unveiled! Finished in Sherwood Mica green with soft tan leather interior and conifer Wilton carpets, this Turbo S comes with a comprehensive service history with over 21 stamps in the service book, The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2027, a handbook pack which includes the handbook and the Turbo S supplement, the service book, spare keys and a file containing old MoTs and invoices. This Bentley is truly one of a kind, being used as the press car and also the only long wheelbase car ever built. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
