Last of the ubiquitous Turbo R in the SWB (short wheel base) version and my favourite interpretation of all

Story and History
1996 Bentley Turbo R
1 owner
15.250 miles only
So nice to have this beauty back with us, having sold her originally to her one and only keeper
Always kept in her garage in Belgravia, chauffeur driven and serviced by Jack Barclay Ltd or the local Belgravia Garage in more recent times, she has copies of most service invoices, MoT's and a stamped up service book too
Remarkable that she has only 15.250 miles since new she drives as though she was only 2 years old, not 27!
Finished in the delightful Peacock Blue with Sandstone hide interior with dark blue piping, top roll, carpets and lambswool over rugs as well
She has the original stereo system, including the remote control for the rear passenger whilst the chauffeur is driving (usually lost in the mists of time - the remote not the chauffeur), drivers grab handle, rear quarter badges, fridge charging socket in the boot and seat switch surrounds in hide as well - a typical Jack Barclay Specification
This is my favourite model of the ubiquitous Turbo R - you have all the benefits of the last of line, so to speak, and with the SWB (short wheel base) chassis, making manoeuvering and parking so much easier whilst retaining a prettier profile than the LWB version which was used for the run out as the factory had an over supply of those bodies
So from 1997 onwards for the last year, all were LWB and were sold in huge numbers as a finance option was offered
The 1996 version is much rarer and especially with such low mileage
We have just carried out a major service, including the air conditioning
Get her quickly before someone else swipes her up or our MD decides to keep her for himself..................
