Bentley Turbo R 6.8

1997 Bentley Turbo RT. Finished in the perfect combination of Sherwood Green with magnolia hide. The Turbo RT was the final, most exclusive and most powerful development of the famous Turbo R line. Only 252 were produced across 1997 and 1998. Bentley knew this was the end of an era, and the RT was created as a statement car. It receives the formidable 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V8 from the Continental T, delivering 400 bhp and magnificent torque. The driving experience is uniquely Bentley: deeply refined yet effortlessly forceful. Top speed is limited to 150 mph, and it feels every inch a grand, decisive performance saloon. Its presence is unmistakable. The RT is distinguished by its mesh grille, colour coded bumpers with bright mesh inserts and purposeful sport wheels. On this example the Sherwood Green exterior has the rich depth and quiet confidence that suits the model perfectly. The magnolia leather interior remains inviting and elegant, with wood veneers and trim that display the craftsmanship of the Crewe factory at its best. There is a sense of occasion every time the doors open and every time the engine turns. This is a rare chance to own one of the most sought-after Bentleys of the modern classic era. It has covered just 86,000 miles from new and was supplied new by Michael Powell Bentley and Rolls-Royce of Leicester. It comes with its original handbooks and manuals, along with a superb service history that includes nineteen stamps in the service book. The most recent service was completed in July 2025 and the car has been used sparingly since, which means it is absolutely ready to enjoy. This is not simply a luxury car. It is a closing chapter from the classic Bentley era, the last of the hand-built Mulsanne body cars, engineered with pride and intention. Values and appreciation are rising because enthusiasts understand precisely what the Turbo RT represents. The car will be supplied with a new MOT at the point of sale to ensure full confidence. A very rare Bentley. Beautifully kept. Well documented. Mechanically looked after. Presented in its most desirable colours. The kind of example that collectors seek and very seldom find. If you want a Turbo RT that feels special the moment you see it and even more so when you drive it, this is well worth a look.
