Turbo R Too ostentatious

to me, this is among the last proper Bentleys. the only bentley I would own. a true chariot!!!

if I could find a truly flawless example I would have a hard time passing one up.

 

When I see someone in an older Bentley or Rolls, I never think of a poor person trying to look rich, I think that they're someone who is an enthusiast and appreciates the intangibles of the car. When I see someone in a brand new leased MB, Audi, or BMW thats when I think its a regular person trying to look rich...

 

I think that style of Bentley (Turbo R & Mulsanne) were the *least* ostentatious looking cars.

I think they flew under the radar compared to older Bentley cars.

 

I saw one these in black once in the middle of nowhere upstate NY in the early 90s. Do it. Darth Vader's luxo cruiser. Bad ass looking car.

 

Amazing- I was going to say the same thing- even the part with the leased latest me too image cars

A turbo R would be a special car, and match the special car a Ferrari 348 is quite nicely- would make a beautiful stable!

 

Great car and goes like stink.
Get it and post pics!

 

Goes together nicely with 348

 

Your wife is wrong in her opinion, when I see one driven, I always think it is driven by a real connoisseur enjoying his ride....

 

I agree.

also agree with Flash, I think the Turbo R/Mulsanne were very understated.

 

Buy that Turbo R! Everyone I know who has a late '80s/early 90's Bentley is well off financially and they drive them because they like them. The older RR-Bentleys really have an impressive presence.
The people trying to look rich are more likely found in leased luxo German cars or giant American SUVs

 

Agree on all counts......but do be prepared for some eye-watering expenses if/when something electronic fails (to say nothing of mechanical repairs).

But as a good Fcar owner, you probably already understand that......;-)

 

Sounds like a money pit and I don't see any amazing craftsmanship when I look at it. Looks similar to my grandmas 90s Cadillac inside.

There is a very good reason that these cars cost $10K...

 

Probably the least ostentatious super sedan ever built.
Buy the best one you can find.

 

Absolutely.
