Bentley Turbo R (2 Door)- Piscasso?

[dictys]

I spotted a rather lovely 1989 2 Door Bentley Couple, it is not a Continental, it seems to be a shortened Turbo R and has some naca scoops on the bonnet.

The inside leather is piped in different colours on opposite seats front and rear.

The badge on the back says Piscasso where the turbo R badge would normally be.

Anyone have any further information?

must be a Hooper or jankel conversion

It's a coachbuilt 2-door by Hooper - one of approx. 18 examples.

This specific car was ordered by one of the Brunei prince for his father. The Picasso badging is unique and refers to the different colour piping on each seat.

Believe it was offered for sale about 18 months ago.

The wonders of PH! It is sitting at the back of a used car lot near me, might pop down for a chat.

Was somewhere in Bucks when last for sale.

Would love to see some photos if you do go to look at it.

Reminds me of that rather awkward looking James Young 2 door conversion of the Shadow.

And there is a LHD example for sale in Kent at the moment.

But no other RHD examples available at present to the best of my knowledge.
