About this car

The Continental R was Bentley's first genuinely new model in years when it arrived in 1991, a big two-door coupe that set the template for the marque's modern grand tourers. This 1993 example is finished in metallic Aurora Green, a distinctive choice for the car.

Inside, the pale cream hide is set against Spruce green on the top roll and knee rolls, with pale beige Wilton carpet and green over-rugs. The steering wheel is Spruce green hide embossed with the winged Bentley "B", and the fascia and door cappings are burr walnut.

It shows 97,000 miles and has had six owners in 33 years. A stamped service book records early servicing by Appleyard of Ripon and JCT 600 in Leeds. The dealer supplied the car to its most recent owner in 2023, and it is now being sold because of that owner's ill health.
