Bentley Continental R Mulliner

The Continental R Mulliner pairs the long-wheelbase four-seat body of the Continental R with the wide-body styling, wider tyres and 420 bhp output of the Continental T. Introduced in 1999, it was built in small numbers at Crewe and is regarded as the most developed of the 1990s Continentals.

This 2000 car is finished in Peacock Blue over black leather, with a turned aluminium dash. It has the uprated 6.75-litre turbocharged V8, a four-speed automatic gearbox and fast-road tuned suspension. The displayed mileage is 66,216.

The history file is extensive. It holds specialist service records and invoices totalling over £50,000, plus the original sales brochure, a press information dossier and a book, Bentley Continentals of the Nineties. The dealer describes the paint and interior as being in very good order.
