The Bentley Turbo R is a high-performance car which was produced from 1985 to 1999. The "R" stood for "Roadholding", to set it apart from its predecessor. It initially inherited the turbo-charged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a re-tuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, a first for a Bentley. From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was upgraded with fuel injection for added torque. Motor Trend called the Turbo R, "the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name". There were 5196 SWB and 2034 LWB models built.

This example is presented in Vermilion Red with Slate leather interior, and is low mileage with just over 40,000 miles on the clock. The previous owner had this Bentley for 21 years and it has only 5 previous owners from new. The book pack is present along with 2 x sets of keys.
