Pre-bids

1996 Bentley Brooklands

Highlights

  • Just 53,000 miles from new
  • Advisory-free MOT until January 2026
  • Finished in striking Wildberry Mica over Magnolia leather upholstery
  • Offered with a well-stamped service book

The Appeal 

Replacing Bentley's Eight and Mulsanne models, the Brooklands was introduced in 1992 and was pitched as a slightly a more accessible alternative to the flagship Turbo R. In a nutshell, you got more or less the same car without a smaller turbocharger, and that proved good news for fuel consumption when tested against the Turbo R in period. In the long run, owners report that reliability was better too; there really isn't much that goes wrong with these cars.
 
With just 53,000 miles under its belt this Brooklands must be one of the best on the market. We adore the colour, a striking hue called Wildberry Mica, which sits beautifully against the Magnolia leather upholstery. The MOT history is superb for a car of this age, with no test failures or advisory items for the past five consecutive examinations.

If you're looking for a taste of '90s British luxury, this Bentley would be a superb addition to your driveway.
