1984 | Bentley Mulsanne Turbo

The Bentley Mulsanne appeared in 1980 along with a Rolls Royce equivalent – the Silver Spirit. Both cars employed the same 6750 cc Rolls-Royce V8 engine, as used in the outgoing Bentley T2 and Silver Shadow II models.

The Bentley variant however, received a welcome power boost in 1982, with the launch of the Mulsanne Turbo at that year’s Geneva Motor Show. The addition of a Garrett turbocharger gave a claimed 50% increase in power and pushed the claimed top speed to a limited 135mph. The Mulsanne Turbo remained in production until 1985, by which time a little over 500 examples of the model had been made.

This car was originally supplied new in the UK by Bentley main dealer Mann Egerton. It was then brought to Jersey (where it was chauffeur driven for one owner) before being sold in 2008 to a new Guernsey-based owner. The car returned to Jersey ownership in 2021. It has had very little use since moving to Guernsey, at which point the mileage was around 39,000.

There is a comprehensive service history with the car – it details nine Bentley dealer-provided services up until the year 2000 at 32,686 miles. Thereafter, it was maintained by independent garages until 2006, when it returned to the local (Jersey) Bentley dealership with instructions to fix whatever was needed. The last service record is dated 2019, with 41,735 miles logged. In 2022 the car had 4 new tyres fitted; the air conditioning system was overhauled and a new battery fitted. The vehicle runs and drives very well.

The Bentley’s bodywork is corrosion free and in very good order. The original Royal Blue paintwork is in fine condition.

The typically luxurious interior boasts walnut veneered fascia and door cappings, cream leather upholstery piped with blue and dark blue wool carpeting. Generally in very good condition, although there is some wear to the veneered parts commensurate with the car’s age.

This is a relatively rare Bentley model with more than adequate performance, which has been well cared for and relatively little used during its life.

The car has now been re-registered in Jersey and we can assist with shipping and importation processes if required. We can ship worldwide.
