1987 | Bentley Continental

We're so glad to have found one of these magnificent drop head Bentleys in such beautiful, unmolested and original condition

The Bentley Continental superseded the Corniche whilst Rolls-Royce were still using the Corniche monica, in fact the instruction manual bears both the Corniche & Continental name

The first series of the Continental produced between '85 & '90 was largely the same in all but name from the Corniche, with a small update coming in '86 that this car benefits from featuring electronic fuel injection, abs, fully electronic seats & alloy wheels

Production of the Continental DHC was extremely limited with only 53 cars produced in RHD between '85-'90 making her extremely rare indeed

Our car was supplied new by by Jack Barclay in July 1987 and serviced annually by them for the first 6 years of her life at which point exclusively independent specialists took over all of which are stamped into the service books that form part of the full book pack still present with her along with MoT certificates going back to her very first in 1990

More recently she was looked after by our friends at The Chelsea Workshop with services every October from 2016 to 2021 and now she has fallen into our care

Her original factor specification of Royal Blue over dark blue piped Magnolia with dark top roll is just superb and she is in simply excellent condition befitting of a car that's covered only 46,000 miles and been looked after so well her whole life

Her suspension is cloud like, engine is velvet smooth and everything electronic is working perfectly with A/C strong enough to keep you cool in the sun even with the roof down

We love it!
