The Appeal

Built with the size, straight edges and strength of a freight train, the Bentley Turbo R was a beautiful, classy Pullman for the roads that felt decidedly rugged and powerful compared to its predecessors. Loaded with a 6.75-litre V8 and a leather-and-walnut smothered cabin, it was the definitive Bentley for over a decade and may well still be one of the most influential cars the company ever built.

This 1989 car is a real head-turner, thanks in no small part to its vibrant red livery. Offered with an MOT running until July 2025, and with only 61,397 miles on the clock, we've no doubt this rugged bit of late-80s luxury will charm any discerning enthusiast.
