1995 Bentley Turbo S or R ?

[graemel]

For quite a while I have been hankering after a Bentley Turbo. I remember reading a post on here that suggested that from memory model year 1995 or 1996 where the best in terms of refinement and handling. I gather the S has more power than the R. Through more turbo boost?. I'm guessing they are the same physical size. Any real life experiences would be very much appreciated. Is the S the better car.
Inspection is paramount. I have a good friend who looks after my cars who cut his teeth at Hiller Hill in the 70's. So I know Brian knows his onions.

Many thanks for your replies, very much appreciated. The mid 90's turbo's all seem to be around the £15 to £20K mark. A phenominal piece of kit for a relatively ridiculous some of money. I know that with such a purchase there is the risk of a potential financial crisis. Apart from the dreaded tin worm are there any particular weak points to look for. If you have a moment take a look at these.

Again many thanks for your thoughts. The missus would like something powerful. She averages 15000 miles a year. Apart from brief flurtations, most of her miles have been in Smart Cars. Four in total and the later two the Brabus variety. Now as mad as it sounds I want to put her in a car that she can enjoy at sensible speed. Important for me as well as we both suffer from a heavy right foot. My thought with the Bentley Turbo is that it would have a great chill out factor to it. Such a sense of occasion. You don't feel enticed to drive it fast for most of the time. All I have to do now is talk her into it. Wish me luck

Good luck with the 1990 car. Tonys I'm not winning at the moment. Well not just Smart Cars. Over the years she has had a 560 SEC, Alpina B3 3.3, X5 4.6iS and a 993C2S. Another Alpina seems to be her weapon of choice. bks, what I need to do is buy the Turbo S, then hide her Smart car so she has no choice but to drive it. Easier said than done.

She's got two. A 58 plate and a 53 plate that we keep as a spare and often on loan to a mate who keeps smashing his 1994 Clio up or it has a mechanical failure of some kind. In fact last Saturday I drove the Clio, he neglected to tell me it had no brakes. Well not unless you pumped the brake pedal vigorously.
